Looking at the Astro Pickup versions that you did, I got semi-inspired to do a version that I had thought would be kinda cool. Would make for a little more comfortable seating...

if you want a base/clear, you can use Dupont HotHues

Use PPG DP 90 primer, or add a flattening agent, like DX265 to your paint.

Trying to decide whether it was mind numbing or butt numbing for the person who logged those miles.

I found a set of astro risers at one of the local boneyards. Gonna pick them up tomorrow.

Here's my pic.



Doing about 75mph in my buddy's '34 Ford roadster, coming back from Lou'vul, KY.

No power seats. Just the basic seat risers, so I have no height adjustment. I am gonna take some time, over the weekend, to yank out the driver's side seat, remove it from the rails, and mock up something to resemble the height I am looking for. Will determine if 2" is where I want to go or not...

^ post got a chuckle out of me!

Might be a good idea to invest in some of these type plates, for an install like that.

4" of headroom???? I'm lucky I have 1" of headroom! Actually, I believe that mine is closer to 3". My wife hates it when I drive her car, as I lower her seat as far as it will go, and she likes it up high. If I only had 1", I would have already ripped the seats out of the van an...

My question is: are you so tall that the stock seat sits too high? The answer to your question is: Yes, I modified the seat bases so I could install aftermarket seats. I didn't lower them but when they were done they sat about an inch lower. Sectioning the seat bases would not be a real big deal. \...

Did do that on a bench I had for the front seat a couple of years ago. Not sure how much I cut off the bottom but then welded tracks from another truck bench for adjustment. Guess you could section the base on both sides or check out how seat is attached to base. Might cut from top and weld on new ...

I am interested in chopping a set of seat risers, to lower my front seats a bit. Anyone here done this one?

View wheels on your van Tire Factory I played with that a bit. I guess I am old school... My fav's are the American Torq Thrust D, with the painted centers, followed closely by the Salt Flat Specials (painted center), old "Daisy" style 5 spoke, the and then the Ansen 5 hole slotted mags.

Johnny, your van sits GOOD. How much drop did you use, and what's your wheel/tire combo?

Thanks!
