Hey Sarge, I've been lurking for a while... Yeah a bigger picture always looks better, but I think it will look the best when it is back on the road.

As for the brews just just have to make the trek north. Now where did I put those sandwiches? Grin

Not sure if the place I got mine from sells them separate. But it looks like Beck might.

You might want to try corbeau buckets with out the headrests.

Too bad there is not a distributor for those Empi buckets here in the states. Those are pretty sweet looking.

There have been several threads about seats in the last couple months that you may want to check out.
http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=1806.0
and this one which started as something else but deteriorated to a seat debate.
