Default FYI about seats/rollbar

I am in the process of installing a wolfe 6pt bolt in rollbar in my 00' Z28. I have 6le seats and lemme tell you its a real close fit about 2 RCH's close. Passenger seat now only moves 1/2" .Driver side will go up maybe 3" and go back plenty for me (Im 6'2"). The side low slung doors now ride on top of the lower bolster. As for quality of the wolfe 10 out of 10 and the fit was dead on. I have about 1/4" between side bars and doors. Pictures tommorow.

A bit cumbersome. Had to clean the powdercoat off the inside of the tubes and lube them up. But they fit perfect. Still got a lot of work to do-cut speaker holes out,adjust carpet, install the harness etc. Also if you have sub frame connectors 2 bolts cant be used up front. Mine are welded on so I coouldnt remove the SFC to access the inner holes.

rear wheel well

Day 2 and about 95% done. still need to do a bit of cleaning, cut holes for the rear speaker grills, carpet trim etc. Also if you have sub frame connectors its a REAL tight fit to get the plate in there. Attached one harness and will finish the second this weekend. Also My car had a few creaks even with my welded in SLP sfc's. After the install they are non existant now. Also ordered some SFI padding for the noggin area.

A buttload of shrink wrap










upclose of the SFC plate area


Need to trim up the carpet and reglue it down. And modify the rear seat deletes


passenger side....Had to relocate the shock sensor
