    wow i cant believe you didnt go flying out your car, with the seat too, the way that seat was held down. But the pillows take the dog gone cake! amused, shocked and grossed out at the same time heh

    On the plus side, if you need to grab forty winks in your car between track sessions you've now got a nice comfy throw pillow.

    I was also looking tutorials to install seats in my c5 corvette and found your video which is helpful but I will say I am impress the way you put effort to install seat in your car, usually girls don’t put that much efforts to on cars . Also just wondering were you able to install back the targa top as seats look higher in length.

  • @opiealvin
    @opiealvin Před rokem +1

    I like the idea of racing seats but not being able to recline at all is a deal breaker. Oh well. Hoping yours work out for you. This corvette is going to be a real challenge. And Hi from Wyoming.

    May I suggest a new thermostat with the 2 tiny added holes that help prevent air pocket when replacing old anti-freeze. Call around to find a NO-FAULT thermostat about $10 ( it remains open when fails later, engine doesn't overheat blowing headgasket ).

    I vote get a bit smaller/slim racing seats. Them are simply just to big for the cockpit size of the vette. Imo. Love the content though

I have a lot of stock stuff like radiators, differentials, transmissions, stock ECUs, shorty headers and a lot of other stuff that I can't think of 😂. If you need anything just ask I might have it. Good luck with your build!
