Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
With high back racing seats like those pictured, Autumn is going to have a heck of a time seeing the other car....a point to consider when you are a middle of the pack...H,I, J, Stocker....Never underestimate visibility....just another reason I prefer factory type seats in a Stocker...

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
I hate days like today, work all day and nothing seems to get done! Autumn and I had a talk this week about our late start to the season and we've decided to skip a few things we are doing to the car so we can actually get to the track sooner than later. We're quickly running out of grade point opportunity. So today, we put the trans. back together, put the column back together and installed that, we also finished up the gauges, I was waiting on a set of the new mounting rings because the old Auto Meter brackets weren't working. We had so much crap laying around the shop we couldn't move so we did a big cleanup this afternoon, maybe tomorrow we'll get a good bit done to the car.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Hey Todd and Autumn, have enjoyed following your build! Just a note on my experience with a stick shift car and Kirky seats. When I first installed mine in my Road Runner last summer it felt like I was for sure going to be banging my elbow on the seat when pulling 2nd and for sure 4th. But it has been a none issue and has been totally comfortable driving the car and wouldn’t go back now. And I had ran the same factory buckets for over 20 years. Also another thing with the kirky seats ur “held” in place so much better. With the stock seats and my belts so tight I could hardly breath I’d still bounce around on a hard launch etc. with the kirky seat feels much more held in place and can “feel” what car doing better. Anyway just thought I’d share! Keep up the good work😜👍

Just my unsolicited vote: Don't cut any corners just to get out this year! Good things take time.
