the drivers seat in my 74 sets to low for my wife to see over the hood. Is there a easy way to raise the seat? Can a "stand off" be used? Because not letting her drive it is not an option!!

i had the same problem when i raised my hood im short and couldnt see over it,so i made spacers and raised the seat,it was perfect.Now that i did the c5 seats i sit even better.

:iagree: unless you are short or have tilt you prolly don't want raise the set permanately, not much leg room between seat and fixed steering wheel.

I never knew that...how does it affect paint?

I soaked mine in a shallow container of Aviation Fuel (outside) for a week. The grease, grime, rug fibers, paint, etc. just fell away. Gave it shot with glass bead, flushed it with air and brake clean and sprayed them with satin black. After hitting them with a little white lithium grease they are as good as (or better than) new!

:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

my wife bought herself some nice fluffy cushions,
that way i can throw them behind the seat when i want to drive,

The vinegar...is that like the trick of dropping a penny in a glass of coke. The penny turns out brand new in about 30 sec. And we drink that!!! :jester

I'm not that big and I can just fit between the seat and steering wheel. So I don't recommend using spacers unless you have a tilt/tele wheel, then I guess it wouldn't be a problem.
