Me too- they're ridiculously comfortable. I used Kirkey "vintage" lowback buckets in my Falcon a few years back, and they got a little uncomfortable on long trips, so I figured I'd try these Procars.

Plan for the weekend was to finish the seat frame fab, but went ahead and tackled the E-brake "hump" as well. Started with the same firewall material, milled out a slot for the handle, and bang-boom-pow had it acceptable (to my standards anyway) and tacked it in. I'll finish-weld it soon, then back to finishing up the chassis. And yes, I know it would be a great spot for a cup-holder, just not sure yet. The only parts I plan for now to have on the "hump" is the E-brake handle and probably the switch for the cutouts.

More later -
