The seats have been ordered. Cobra Misano 30th Anniversary Editions with the Billet bling on them.

http://www.cobraseats.com/Misano

Here is Misano's own info..."The Misano 30 celebrates Cobra's 30th anniversary in manufacturing the world's finest seats. The Misano 30 is a masterpiece of automotive seat engineering, creating truly the worlds first light-weight, hybrid composite recliner. With a Carbon Fiber composite shell for the backrest, combined with high-density molded polyurethane foam, polished stainless steel chassis work and the worlds best reclining mechanism, this seat re-defines the category of light weight sport seats. The Misano 30 is the pinnacle version of the Misano models and features leather surrounds for hard wearing good looks and double stitched, cross-quilted centers for the ultimate presentation of luxury. The Misano 30 is the culmination of 30 years experience in manufacturing seats rolled into one seat alone. Bottom mount system. Available only in black leather with grey top-stitching and cross-quilting. "

I love these seats I had a different version of these seats. But they didn't work in my project.

The problem is these seats are designed for flat floors and have a huge kick up under your Knee's which put my Knee's above the bottom of the steering wheel. Make sure that your seats are more flat across the seating area as it's much easier problem to solve.

Tracy at the Recovery Room Interiors said that all we needed to do is rebuild the lower seat cushion & leather and it would work. But we ended up going another direction.

I'm planning on flat floors. Thats the biggest hurdle we are facing right now. Connecting the two frame section together and making it all work out right and look nice. I'm basically making all new floor from the firewall back. And the plan is a full flat floor with seats tied into the frame section and everything nice and flat.

Your intake looks rather tall in the pics. May not fit under a flat T/A hood. We had problems with Ty's hood clearance. But I have been dying to fab up a raised cowl induction style T/A hood. What do you think?
