c3 seat problem
the drivers seat in my 74 sets to low for my wife to see over the hood. Is there a easy way to raise the seat? Can a "stand off" be used? Because not letting her drive it is not an option!!

I soaked mine in a shallow container of Aviation Fuel (outside) for a week. The grease, grime, rug fibers, paint, etc. just fell away. Gave it shot with glass bead, flushed it with air and brake clean and sprayed them with satin black. After hitting them with a little white lithium grease they are as good as (or better than) new!

Re: c3 seat problem (American Boy)
I'm not that big and I can just fit between the seat and steering wheel. So I don't recommend using spacers unless you have a tilt/tele wheel, then I guess it wouldn't be a problem.
