    Seat Comfort

    That's good .

    Dodge (and others) used to enclose the open bottom of their truck seats , this trapped the air pressure caused by the driver's bouncing and made for better seat comfort .

    They even added a little adjustable vent thingie to make it firmer or softer .

    As I have serious back injuries , seat comfort is critical for me ~ I won't have anything I can't ride or drive for hours at a time , few Hot Rodders bother with this important aspect sad to say .

    Some of my old Motos now have gel pads sewn into the seats , what an improvement .

    No I cant take the credit for it. I shot all the primer and got her ready for paint sanding and masking BUT my brother in law did the painting. I really think I could do it but didnt want to mess it up and besides after all the $ I spent on paint wanted him to do it. Who knows maybe next time I'll give her a try.

    I bought paint at ( Paintforcars.com) it is a two stage paint and used lots of clear. I found this place best place and they sell lots of paint. Shipping is not cheap but still with that not bad. The front clip and front side of doors to be painted this weekend. Come on weather hold on for just a bit longer.
