 Boy, it's been a long time since I posted here. Hope everyone visiting is doing well.

I'm getting ready to put my Camaro away for the winter. I need a number of things done to repair and maintain my Z28 but they will have to wait till spring and summer. It's getting cold where I live and I need to set aside some money to buy parts etc.

  One of the things I want to do is replace  the original first gen Sparco "EVO-2" racing seats. The Sparcos are very supportive and comfortable to sit in and I love the look but the grippy fabric is flimsy and worn out and I can no longer get replacement seat covers for them (Red). In addition the seats have so much bolstering that it is a real pain getting into and out of them. I have learned to dread it.  The racing novelty is being replaced by a desire for easier egress..Evo-2s are real racing seats so of course there is no recline mechanism and I want seats with less bolstering so it's not so difficult exiting the car.

  The clear coat on my aftermarket fiberglass hood is also starting to peel so I need a respray and because I haven't done much maintenance since moving across country and buying a new house the car has been sitting more. To top it off, my opti-spark distributor is starting to have issues and my dash pad has begun to crack. Lots of stuff to do and money is tighter lately.
