There's a place to sit now

So Thanksgiving is not just for eating. It's also for fabricating a seat mount! It's been over a month since I was last up in Raleigh working on the Camaro. Kevin hasn't done a blasted thing with the car either, despite the fact that he lives up there. By the time I get there Wednesday night, I find the poor Camaro sitting outside, flooded with water. Nice. After drilling some drain holes and pushing her back into the barn, it was time to get to work.

We need a place to sit. More accurately, a driver's seat. I bought a shiny new Kirkey aluminum seat and cover for just that reason. I also picked up a seat mount kit from Roll Cage Components. I figured I'd set it all in, weld it up and we'd be done. Not so much. Two days later all is well, but not after some serious work. At this point I'm thankful I'm done with the heavy fabricating. Have a look:

 Looks comfy, doesn't it?



Like it?  Who cares, Lloyd does and his opinion is all that matters!  Anyway, that's pretty much all I got done in two days.  Which leaves, well, plenty to do yet.  The car has to be wired from scratch, all brakes need to be replaced, paint, and well some "other" stuff.  It's going to be a busy Christmas in the Ramrod garage!  Stay tuned.

  1. Like the comment that Kevin hasn't done a thing on the car. Would you really want him touching it anyway? I know he would be a huge asset to our team if he would help out with your car.
