Everything looks just like it does in a GTO. What a great fit in your '37! If you don't mind the big side bolster look I highly reccommend GTO front seats (they look a little more full than the rear seats). It wouldn't be unreasonable to say the seats are my favorite part of my car, but I personally don't like the look for my '35 and I know you were talking about front seats with integrated belts.
I went backwards this weekend. I was planning to move the car from my parents lake house closer to home now that summer is over, but the rear wheels on there are too small to clear the brakes (bought cheap rollers, but they ended up not being 5x4.75) so I had to take the rear brakes off. Then I was trying to push the grommet onto the booster for the check valve from the access panel in the floor above and I (actually my dad...I'll gladly not take the blame for this one) pushed it through into the booster. No luck fishing for it so the booster had to come out...first three nuts no problem, but the fourth one was much more of a problem
. the brace for the pedal assembly blocks it everyway I could get to it. So I ended up putting a wrench straight onto the nut and turning a mm at a time using an ice pick and screwdriver on the closed end to turn it. I have no idea how I got that nut on to begin with, but I did with nothing changed since. It took two hours to remove the booster, but its out. I also found that one of the studs on the booster is stripped so I have to clean that up and get everything back in. At least I have a day off tomorrow to catch up
