I concur with someone above. Chics look sexy, but on top of my hood and roof...hell nah...lol. Looking good thus far though on the build.


Where can I get those fender fasteners/bolts from?

I ordered them from my local hardware speciality store, the are aicraft grade stainless and so easy to use, makes a perfect threaded hole. I just used three stainless rivets a nut and used a 2 ton epoxy between the nut and car.

There called "Brad Hole Tee Nut" and there not usually used on cars but because of how picky I am with my car I wanted the strongest quick threaded fastners I could get vs. the "rivet threaded inserts" (wich are some what the same just IMO not as strong)

I am only using them because I want to remove the fenders for track use (why damage them for no reason, right) and to remove my front or rear bumpers if I want and not have to worry about drilling the rivets out

Oh man they are perfect they are a little bit wider at the base but the back is so much comfotable to us bigger guys, these are fully reclineable and paired with sparco bases and sliders it is full functional (minus airbags). These are "Sparco Chronos" that i ordered from @ft86 speedfactory and they fit perfectly in the car, you would need the bases and sliders and a hardware kiy to use these seats but its worth it.

@chris's fr-s - how much lower (if any) did those seats lower the sitting position/height?

Great build. Auto as well concerned about running aftermarket steering wheel. Doesn't seem to be an issue minus loosing paddle shifters and cruise. I wish the paddles where mounted on the colum .
