    Sure has, even shows Chuck as a "Guest".....
    I hear that....

    So the up-date with my 26 year old sport seat redue is:
    - Seats are still fine... lots of patina... (1990 redone by the late Bill Keffer)
    - Seats had original under webbing until 10 years ago, when I had the driver's seat re-webbed... (buy the late Levon Baloian)
    - Passenger seat was re-webbed for the first time last year... (buy George Baloian)
    - Driver's seat was just re-re-webbed last week after 10 years... (buy George Baloian)

    I average about 6000 (hard) miles on the car a year......

    26 years ago I was 40 with a semi OK lower back and was just able to extract the seats from the car myself... today at 66 it's a much different story.........

    - Photo of one seat done and the other waiting to be in 1990. (I still have the original hides Bill used for the patterns)
    - Randy Wells photo 2008... the look of the seats haven't really changed in 8 years except the seat inserts have less sag with the new webbing.

    Cheers,
