Simon,
Could you throw a completed seat on a scale, when they're done? I'm curious about weight...fiberglass vs. aluminum.
Thanks!

Simon-
Your car looks great, and progressing nicely. How big a wheel/tire can you fit in the rear with the Gulf flares?
Thanks

Bill,
Finished the seats tonight and they weight 12 lbs. I made them out of the 1/8" marine grade alum. that I had left over from the floor pan. | |

Bill D,
I have 10"x15" vintage wheels with 295/50/15. I think with the right offset or backspace you could probably get 12" to fit.
