Default Blitz seat

Thanks for the info. Jeff has leant me an original spring loaded seat. I will make some inquiries about getting a couple made up. Thanks to hrpearce for the borrowed photo!

Bob - the dash is going well. Because of my seat problem I haven't had it going fast enough to confirm the speedo is working at high speeds!!! I will PM you in regards to a dash for the carrier.

Darren

Default Check carefully.....

When you take out your Chev.... if the speedometre does not go up to the peg around 100 mph....either the speedometre is defective and send it back to Bob........or your Chev engine needs a tune up......


Careful not to break the sound barrier !!!!!!

Default Re. Check Carefully

Hey Boobee - if you check Darren's vehicle list you will see an F15A, no Chevrolets in sight. Besides which all my panels have a lifetime guarantee.

Default Seats

Hi Darren - if you contact Richard Coutts-Smith he has/had access to a guy who made beautiful seat covers. I had a pair made and they were brilliant.
