Talking Got one of my new racing seats mounted (mock up)

Recently picked up a pair of Ractive seats and RCI harnesses from "30thZ28" (who still has a bad *** Roller and 410ci SBC/LTX long block w/ vic jr., elbow, TB, and dual stg plate Kit and a bunch of other stuff for sale). Mocked up the passenger side seat to the stock rails/brackets (only the front bolts line up) to see how it look in the car.

What do you think..





I know your not suposed to bolt the shoulder harnesses directly to the floor But i dont have a cage so i bolted them where the rear belt used to go so it isnt pulling directly down on your neck..

nice seats Kevin! definately not something you will want to ride in on a roadtrip. theyre a bit narrow between lower bolsters. had a set of recaro seats in my 72 ss very similiar to those and sold em to a jeep guy cause of that.

got any pics of the rest of the car.?

Looks good can't wait to try them out. I am glad the harnesses are black, looks much cleaner. The car rides so much better with all the interior back in the car. You need to get a roll cage in there next.

YEA then join the LS2.COM Texas crew


Or you can get the wet 100 shot and then you would have like 585whp and 620wtq
