I expected the seats to improve the manners of the car, but Holy Crap! What a dramatic improvement. I drive a 2007 Ram truck, the wife has a 2015 Challenger R/T. I have been spoiled with comfort and support in these late model vehicles. I'd attributed the old car's quirks to the fact that it was an OLD car. These seats make me feel more connected to the car, more locked into place and in control. No matter if I am accelerating, turning or stopping, the car feels better because I am not bouncing or sliding around. Strange as it may sound, it is as if the car handles better now. When I added the Bilstein shocks and 1.15 T-bars several months back, I was still feeling a little residual bounce on rough roads. I now see that the seat was so worn, it was causing a motion like a worn set of shocks. The car feels great now. Total cost: $425 for seats and metal stock for brackets.

Greg, those look really good. Were you able to reuse the Neon belt buckle that is part of the seat frame? It would be cool if you can make that work.

how many watts is that generator? Funny. I bought that in 2006 when I was building the shop. It wasn't strong enough to power my 2 HP air compressor. I had to run 200" of air hose from the house garage to frame the shop!
