What’s an old man like you doing with 600 hp....... 😂


Looks great Ken..... glad it’s finished. Seat looks good - stiffness should ease up with milage.... and still look good.

Mikes guy did the top layer of foam in the ‘40 real soft - I love it - but it will show “wear” sooner as the leather stretch’s and groans under the weight of my BFA.... The Sid Shavers upholstered seat in the ‘33 was “stiff” but it had a lot of contour so was comfortable.

Ken,

I gather that last drive was slipping pretty bad, given the lack of belt wrap on the supersharger pulley...

We are getting close …….. LOL..... A synopsis of getting to this point in the story...… After the fiasco with the Glide Engineering seat backs being too wide to fit in the car...…. I called and explained what happened, they sent me out new seat back frames a month later..... at this point I had had it with that seat so it just sat in a corner of the garage covered up.... When the box with the new seat back frames arrived I just put it on the seat as I had already sent the original seat to Tracey Weaver for mod's...….. Tracey did an awsum job on the seat and after getting it back and installing it ……. It looked fantastic...… The only problem was it was a little too firm for the wife...…. so..... since the car is going on the Good-Guys Road Tour this year she (well... you know the rest of the Story)…….. so.... I dug out the Glide fiasco and took it to Dave who re-upholstered it prior to us finding out it didn't fit..... Dropped the seat off along with the box with the new frames...….LOL...… A week later Dave calls and said they sent the wrong frames...…. Glide sent frames for a tall back seat (mine was the shorter style) and they also sent frames for a stock seat without the arm rest...….. a little tall and wide...….. What else could they possibly screw up...… I was ready to throw in the towel again at this point...… Dave said don't worry about it and he would take care of it...…. He cut the tapered sections from the new frames and welded everything as it needed to be...… Finished the seat and installed it …….. Now she is Happy...… Dave did a great job and made a very comfortable seat out of a pile of Crap !!!!!!
