Yeah, at 20 RPM...!!!

Sorry I didn't get back to this earlier- I've been busy retrofitting 2001 Monte Carlo seats into the vette.- I picked 'em up from EBay for $225, including tax and shipping.

Unfortunately, the 6-way power assembly raised the height of the seat too high, so I had to scrap them, use the old seat sliders, and then use 1" square tubing to bring the seats up enough to get the edges of the seat (and both the seat tilt and lumbar-support ***** to move freely), but it's coming along pretty well... I'll post some pics of that later, after I install the new carpets.

$225 for leather seats, that are FAR more comfortable than the originals... God, sometimes EBay ROCKS!!!

Vetmaniac contacted me about seats last week. I just installed some C5's. It's hard to find seats narrow enough to fit the vette. How wide are those seats? Pics when you can please.
