Haha, yeah everyone always says that. The T/A is one of many for him. He's Long Hauled his 66 Chevelle convertible 3 times. He said for long drives he prefers to have cruise and AC...............____ .......

Here is my full post from pro-touring.com
----------------
An update from the Hot Rod Power Tour! One of the best days I've had in a long time!!
Woke up at 5am. Stopped at Bob Evan's in Toledo, OH for Breakfast
Rolled down US20 to Norwalk
Pulled in to Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk around 11am.
Lined up for fun runs on the drag strip at 1pm
Started raining at 1:15pm
$1 Ice cream for lunch at 1:30pm
Finally lined up (against my grandfather) at about 2:30pm
The old man whooped me!
Watched drag racing for a few more hours in the sun with my Grandpa
On the way back, about 50 miles from home my shifter came apart. Luckily the car stayed in gear, so I was able to limp it in to a parking lot but I couldn't shift at all. A quick call to Hagerty got me home with a free flatbed ride! (no pictures of that...) Upon closer inspection when I tore in to it last night, the mounting plate came apart from the transmission. Amazingly, the bolt was still in the hole, it just didn't have any threads engaged. I'm pretty glad it was a cheap, quick fix. I think my wife would draft divorce papers if I spent another dime on this car this month.
On that note, after a 3 hour drive sitting on those '69 Camaro buckets, I decided it was time to upgrade, soI bought these from a member here yesterday. SHH my wife will never notice... Oops!

Well, after much trial and error, it turns out the GTO seats are too wide to fit between the trans tunnel and still be at a comfortable height. If I was 5'6" it would be fine, but they are just too tall to work. It's crazy because I know I've seen 5th gen Camaro seats in a 1st gen. I'm sure we could make them fit, but I'm not interested in cutting the floor/ tunnel apart to make it work. I guess I'm on the lookout for a pair of Fiero seats to recover. Now I just need to buy a C10 to put these GTO seats in...
In other news, I did manage to put new black carpet in while the seats were out. It looks (and smells) much better than the dark blue the previous owner had in there. No pictures of that, but I'll be on Woodward tonight if you want to see it.Last edited by mikewoods; July 18th, 2014, 07:52 AM...............____ .......

I like it w/o the mouldings. Did the spacers set the wheels where you wanted them?
