I've often wondered why someone hasn't come up with a variation on the Aeron concept for a sports seat.



It sure would be nice in the summer heat.

very cool Sam...very cool. can't wait to pull up along side ya and see your big smile !!!

and umm....these seat selections.....oh never mind...I think I'll grab a cocktail instead !!!!

U all know I am a purist and like my cars as they orginally came from the factory...well I can tell you just by looking at the pictures of Sam's car that I absolutely HATE it. IT'S BIN MODIFIED, and as such should be relegated to the R Gruppe. It's so easy to overlook those simple little details that make a restoration correct and one that is well simply half-A$$ed. I'm afraid this falls into that catagory. Sammy I am ashamed of U those window cranks are not CORRECT for a 1967. They should for one thing have a hard rubber knob and not the soft plastic knobs of the 68's on. U might as well be using a Listerene Bottle cap as the window cank knob, it would look more period correct than what you have on there.

can anyone say j@cka$$ ?????

Teddy,

I'm proud of you for noticing, especially since you don't own a 67 and 67 window cranks are a one year only item, but don't fault me for not wanting my original window cranks to maybe get lost as unfortunately some other items have since I started restoring this car, so worry yourself not, when this car is finished it will be 100% correct if it kills me.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, the car is dirty from sitting down at auto's Int. for over a year and many of the little items are left to be installed but I'm getting really close so will see what happens

[tabs52]

Oh OK, then I take back everything I said....your car is far better than an R Gruppe car!

All I can say to the others is eee...augh....eeee...augh.....Thats Jacka$$ for...One can never underestimate the predictabilty of stupidity......

Hey Sam, even with that glaring RGruppe bastardization of a year later window crank, it's still a lovely job. Especially considering what it looked like when you bought it from Tubs.
