[FC] New FC Owner

[Western Canada CORSA]

Thomas,

The "Crew Cab" Rampside I HAVE to see pictures of!

Al,

You're aware that FC's did come with bucket seats, eh?  The height of the
base of the seat can be a bit of an issue.  Mike is around 6 feet and I know
that getting the new bases of his stock FC buckets made too thick was a
concern as far as head height goes, for him.  I think he went with the stock
buckets, both for simplicity of installation, and that they were made to fit
for maximum head clearance.

Regards,
Joel

I have been looking into just this. How tall are you?

I am 6'4" and need all the room I can get in the drivers seat, i have looked

at renault alliance seats (buckets) they look like they would work very 
well, I would just need to shorten the pedestal mount.

I have them in my '64 spyder and could send pictures of them if that would 
help.
