New (To Me) Seats...
« on: August 12, 2007, 10:53:59 AM »

Well I havnt had much time to work on the Demon, but that will change the last week of the month, on vacation for 10 days and the plan is to spend 6-8 hours a day on the Demon to make some headway, in preperation for that I snagged a couple seats out of a local boneyard to use instead of the plastic racing buckets I was planning to use, they're out of a 95 Pontiac Sunfire, a good washing and some black fabric dye and the cover material will be a dead ringer for the material Tracy used on the doorpanels...Best part is the price, $19.99 each! Woo Hoo!

My thoughts on RCI seats as I've gotten older.

At age 16 to 21 RCI seats are REALLY COOL and are your 1st choice!  Grin

At age 22 to 30 RCI seats are still pretty cool and are still high on your seat shopping list  Smiley

At age 31 to mid 40's RCI seats are ok but your now starting to look at other options.  Dunno

From mid 40's on up RCI seats SUCK because they KILL your bad back, sore shoulders and stiff neck and are NOT on your seat shopping list anymore!  Frustrated

By the way Ryan, nice score on those seats my friend!  Grin Cool
