37 Ford build--IE: old Header issues thread /37 Ford/5.0/GT40P heads

[IC2]

I finally have some seats coming that will fit me and my car. A trip to Conn. on Friday took care of that. They will be upholstered with my material and after sitting in the display model, very comfortable. I just ordered sliders from Speedway and will need to make up tip up brackets that fit the holes already in the floor pan. Those seats that came out of my car - they will be either swap meet or Craigs list and someone will probably get a steal with some nicely upholstered Glide Engineering seat. I hope this is the end of this saga

Randy - those seats are nice - but will the arm rests grab too much room? A '37 still doesn't have any surplus seating space.

These are what my new seats will look as far as design - and it was only $$$$$

Nice seats, Dave!!! Of course, for that price they ought to be, right?

Regarding the armrests in my car, there should be plenty of room for these if I decide to use them. The seat is only 46" wide and the car is 51.5" or so back there. The armrests are 3" wide at the widest point so I think I can fit them into the side panel without disrupting seating room. It probably won't work that well if someone has a huge a$$ though.....

Been awhile Randy I think I bought the same TCI parallel spring system . I have some 255 70 15 to fit in the back , I know a tall tire will raise but I want a little rake in it . Just hope the tire fills the well also .

I might have a little to much tire.

What size are they again I know you told me once .

[bluestang67]

Randy some cinder blocks can simulate weight when stacked in the right places .

Actually Bobby, I got this setup from SAC hotrods in their going-out-of-business sale. They may have got it from TCI, not sure. I know the sway bar I purchased from them is Chassis Engineering. This pic has no weight on the springs except the empty body shell. I think the full interior, deck lid, bumpers, etc. will bring it down a little but I still may have to use the lowering blocks mentioned above. I definitely want a little rake too. I have 2" drop spindles on the front and way smaller tires. I may still go with a size larger tire on the rear to fill up the well a little more. These are 255/50/17.

How's your 37 coming along?
