The wolfe cage I had in it before was grey. I really liked that colorso Im gonna keep it the same. Red on the black interior is too much for me

Alright a few details 427 ci, GTP stg 2 heads, S1 cam, TH400 w/brake, TNT F2 kit. The race weight should be somewhere between 3200 - 3250. Car will probally go mid to low 10's N/A and mid 9's spraying a small shot for now. Sometime this year looking to convert over to a solid set-up w/ a sheet metal intake.

I sure hope so the wait has been brutal. When I started this project I didn't think it would be down this long. Of course the longer it was down the more radical the set-up got

What kind of seats are those? Where did you get them and how much? Easy to mount? How about the weight and the comfort?

Thanks

Andy

I'll have some more pics in a few weeks of the engine compartment.

The seats are Tenzo's, I actually got em from a friend not sure who sells them. They are very comfortable but not as light as the all out drag seats. I would guess maybe 10 pounds lighter than the stock power seats. They come with a universal bracket and if you want to use them you have to have a few tabs welded on the floor pan.
