If you don't mind me asking, what size waist are you? I'm asking because I looked at the Corbeau GTS II also, but Corbeau recommends for up to a 38" waist. Well I'm 6'3" 275 with a 38 waist, so wasn't sure if I would have head room issues or if my lats, waist or bottom would feel crammed. I see you state you're 6'1" but not sure if your having comfort issues or head clearance issues.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Mark

It's funny you say that, I am like a 36" waist but no comfort issues. However, they do sit a little high and I mean just a little. There is a thread though somewhere on here that I have got to find. There was a guy that took the brackets that come with these seats and he cut a rewelded so they would drop a little lower. I did not think I would have to do this because if I remember, he was taller than me. Now just to give myself an extra inch or so of headroom, I am considering it. Don't get me wrong, I don't hit my head or anything, but it is a little close. Great seats, though.

Edit: If you look close at a couple of the pics on the previous page, you can just about see how I am sitting. Now you being a couple inches taller than me, I'm not sure how much of a difference it would be for you. Sorry, I know it is tough when you spend that kind of money, you try to avoid having to send them back. How do your factory seats sit you?

So this past Saturday night, the local car show was holding its first of the year "Cruise In."

So I finished putting the Camaro back together and even put in a new rear package tray



Polished the wheels up...


Took it for a spin on this beautiful Saturday for a road test...



A buddy of mine just got his '66 Dodge Charger back from paint, so we cruised them together to the car show...






A good friend made these signs for me, even. Matched up the color great!





Although, it got a little chilly, it turned out to be a pretty good night at the Niftee 50ees Cruise In with friends, family, and even met some Lat-G members.

Thanks! Come on March! At least I think when they start doing this every weekend until November. It is a blast!


Anyone in the Spring area know if they still do Coffee and Cars at Vintage Park? They have not updated the site since mid December.

I think they started doing it again, but I've been going to the Woodlands show at 1st Sunday of the month in the mall. Much more relaxed.
