Vette(s): 1976 Brown with Buckskin Interior. I bought her on 9/15/03 and just received it on OCT 1st 2003!! It needs interior work, and some things under the hood, but I am so excited! Just waiting for Summer of 2004 to totally show it off.
HOLY SHI*
those are awesome. Did you install yourself? If so what exactly had to be done???? I totally love it. If you got them done professional then if you don't mind me asking
how much did it cost you?
Thanks
Great Job - it looks sooo good!

Suzanne, is this the original color of your vette? If so, what is the color code on it? It looks like it may be the same color mine was at one time. Thanks..

Here's the rundown:The seats are still on C5 tracks. I cut the "curl" off the front of the tracks and redrilled the floorpan. The holes actually were only about an inch or 2 off from originals and ended up in the reinforcement plates. They are six way power w/lumbar. The motors fit fine due to the original recess in the floorpan. I left the original bolt flange on the back of the C5 tracks to bolt down the backs and used the hole closest to the front in the tracks to do the front and used carriage bolts. The only problem I'm having is bypassing the Memory module for the drivers seat. Passenger seat works great. I'm 6'1" and to me the ride height is great. It's a convertible and I still have at least 2-3" clearance with the top up. They are far more comfortable and the look of the seatbacks sitting just above the rear deck just looks great to me. Hope that helps
