You now have my full attention! :shock: 8)

Also, is your bar in a hangar? :?
(Okay, I realize those are two different locations, but I couldn't help myself.)

I can't stop picturing a drunk guy falling off of those seats yelling: "EJECT! EJECT!" :lol:

Ha! Yeah all good comments. Funny but these are actually very comfortable seats. I reduced them to the basics as the original configuration would not have been. I have used NOS "upholstery" with a slight mod cushion under the seat but all the women say, "These are really comfortable seats."

Let me know if you are interested as there are many configs out there.
