For the price you can't go wrong with that pedle. I got mine from john himself, I'll try to find his email and give it to you but he sells his for $200 shipped.

As for the cutlass here are a couple updates.
I got the blazer spindles got a deal for this $129 for both and I got lucky cause they have BRAND NEW pads.

i may be getting uppers and sell these uppers i really want to get adjustable uppers from marcus over at sc&c

also got a 69 camaro front spoiler. I was told it was bolt on but I had to drill a couple new holes to make it fit. Another thing you can see in the pictures are my new wheels, got tired of the 19's ( too big and gave the car a lifted look) and got myself some c5 vette wheels i like these cause i can drop the car since they are 17x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the car also think the car looks great with them. also got the amber bumper light off a 442.

Yup 1.5" in the front and 3" in the back

What mods will you have to do to get the seats in?
I used the stock outside front bolts and had to notch a small part of the hump over the transmission tunnel but i welded a plate to reinforce it

where did you get a 3" spacer?
i want to see a pic of the seats installed. i bet its going to look really nice.
They look a lot better than i thought and they feel amazing! Hopefully I wont forget forget my cam today tomorrow lol
As for the spacer I got them as part of the trade for the wheels, the guy that had them had the vette wheels on a GP.

nice im also thinking about putting corvette rims on my cutlass and some GTO seats.
The GTO seats look good in our cars I've seen a Monte on ProTouring.com with the blue GTO seats and it looks SICK!
I also really like the vette wheel on G-Bodies,I would love to put the new Z06 wheels but they are wayyy to wide(unless you notch the frame,which I hope to do soon).

Also, here are the pics of the seats installed!
Don't pay attention to the dirty rug,I'm in the search for a black one now. I already did the headliner black as well I to snap a pic later.

For those of you that don't know what that is, it's an Integra Type-R B18 fresh out the machine shop, hopefully we'll be done by March..

Those seats look good. Just the whole burgundy is throwin it off but I def see the vision. My interior is the same color and I want to switch to black everything but I'm still debating to stay with the burgundy. I'm in the process of searchin for seats now. I'm definetly subscribing to this build...so keep us updated and the pics comin...

Got any tips on how to do the headliner?
What are rug prices going for?
