The way I see it, those seats came out of something fast, and deserve to go back into something equally fast.

When your Torino is as fast as a Ford GT, we'll talk. Better hurry though, there's no way you're getting them once I put them in my car.

Define faster. David Pearson only got to 190mph at Daytona qualifying in 69 so my brick probably won't better the GT on top end even though I have more hp than the GT or Pearson. 1/4 mi drag race maybe.

I'll get nervous about you fitting those seats if you actually make some decisions on drivetrain and suspension for that Camarostang of yours.

There is a Ford GT that shows up to most events so you can test your theory.

The drivetrain will be as low in the frame as it can be, within reason.
I'm ordering part of the suspension next week, I had to wait until BOS's security system was free of bugs and working perfectly because I figured there was a chance a couple of seats might go missing.

Anyway, I'm sure your car will be an exciting ride. I'm sure it will be a handful, but that doesn't mean it will be slow, it just means that it will be fun to drive at any speed.

Now that sounds like a little backtracking to me.

Just get it done so I can drive it.
