71 Nova update

[TnBlkC230WZ]

Finally getting started on the Nova. I got the Procar Elite 1000 seats and Morris Classic Concepts seat belts installed earlier this month. Both items were easy bolt ons.

The seats are extemely comfortable, even for my larger-than-I-like back side. I sit a little higher than the old Camaro buckets, but those seats were wore out. I can still lower the back of them about 3/8 -1/2 inch as well. They are still low enough for a 6'1'' to seat comfortably.

The Morris seat belts are also very nice. Excellent placement across the lap and shoulder.

The only problem is the Procar seats are wider than factory and the seat belt retractors occupy more floor space as well. Combined, the seats will not slide all the way back without running into the seatblet retractors. The entire setup still works for people 5' to 6'1". If I install a roll bar (still unsure if I want to do this), I will switch to a four point harness.

This week, I dropped it off at the body shop to get new quarter panels, trunk pan, tail panel, left rocker panel and fix the outer wheel houses. They will also eliminate all rust fron the quater panels back and epoxy primer the back end. I'll post picks when I get it back. Should get it back in about 10 days.
