Looks like decision time! Pretty much finished the project. I finished this one and have not finished mu 68 coupe. The long and short of it is I will be offering my 79 for sale for about what I have in it (less my blood sweat and tears) I'm 6"4" and can not figure why I fit in mt 68 Corvette but don't have the head room in the 79. I can only figure the AL Knock seat cushions set me up higher. I want to finish my 68 Corvette Coupe and do a full restoration on my 1972 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 4 speed. I will be looking into listing this on our forum.

Just a side note question on your new seats, are they the 2" or 4" bolsters? Upgrading my '78 to clam-shells and need to decide on which route to go. When I see what must be the 2" they look kinda thin and collapsed over time, but just wondering how much wear (getting in and out) and restriction, if any there is with the 4"? Sorry to hijack your thread, but those seats look so fresh and absolutely perfect! Thanks!
