As an FYI, the manual track isn't any lighter then the power setup. They are both heavy as ****. I did a power seat delete and quickly realized that weight savings just wasn't in the cards. I still have my old power setup if you need it for repairs.

That was a great video. Really well put together. I appreciate that it doesn't have a bunch of shitty music covering up the sound of the cars. It made me want to build an automatic f-body.

I'm good for Saturday. I'll post up when I get back with the car and it proves itself as a daily driver after the 300 mile trip.
