Thread: My Rod update..

Tweet

The bracket set-up is the Vintage Air "Frontrunner". It has a Sanden 706P compressor. Total length is 6 1/2". Including the hose fittings, 7 1/2 and the bracket mount is 2". I am running a manual rack so no pump.

Forget that. I find that the swiviling captians chairs out of the mid 70s cutlasses are Very comfortable, and cool too. Something about being able to turn left and exit. Great for us taller people.

I'm thinking that swiveling seats would be nice for us ladies that have a hard time getting in & out of a vehicle when we have a skirt & heels on too...not that you guys will ever have that problem...

1950bulletnose - Are those Camry seats comfy? Power? I want them to look nice, but I also want them to be nice to sit in for a long period of time, too... (i.e. Americruise, etc.)

Thanks Mike for the info...............

Angel, The Camry seats are a very supple leather and look sharp. I only had them in the car temporary while I got my column positioned. I did find them very comfortable to sit in and yes they are powered. The rear seat was made for the Stude Champ, fit like a glove, I couldn't believe it.

I like the stance. Going to be a nice ride.

Very nice ride MikeC, very nice engine also, did you say that you are using a manual rack in that sedan? How hard is it to steer? I have a manual rack for the MII IFS in my '48 and would love to just put it in instead of having to search for a different one.

Bulletnose, those are some fine seats man, they look sweet in your car. Your baby is coming along well huh? I put the front end down on my '48 today with the new cut out's for the IFS. It fit like a glove, I'm starting to get psych'ed seeing things come together.

HotRodAngel, how is the '53 coming along? Got any pics yet?

Wow ! The rear seat does fit good! And the front seats look pretty good too! I might have to check those Camry seats out...you wouldn't happen to have any measurements for those, would you?

Haven't yet got the steering hooked up because I don't have seats picked out yet. It is really hard to steer in and out of the garage pushing on the sides of the tires
I will let you know as soon as I get it set up.

Brickman,
It's coming along, not as fast as I would like it though.

Angel,
I'll do some measuring when I get home from work today.

Ya all have a good day.

You have a great car going there Bulletnose, everything you have done so far is top quality and should be a show stopper when completed. Very Nice.
