Default Opinions on ERA FIA seats?

Just curious about the comfort of the FIA seats Vs. the 427 seats. Does anyone do a lot of driving in these seats & have an opinion as to which would be the better choice? I would prefer to go with the FIA seats in order to keep the original appearance but thought I would just dabble in my curiosty while I "WAIT "

We test drove a car with the FIA seats and decided to go with the 427 seats. We are both a bit large for the FIA seats.

The computer I am on won't let me post a picture so check out my gallery for a picture of our seats.

Thanks,
I'm more tall than big & don't "think" I should have to much of a problem with fit. Really just curious how these seats are going set with me after a couple hours of driving.

I see you are doing your own bodywork & paint. I will be doing the same. Do you have any suggestions or pointers concerning the ERA body now that you have had some time with it?

BTW, looks good so far! What color/s & paint scheme are you going with?

The body has been easy to work with so far. The only problem was the oil cooler scoop was not perfectly level. After some tiger hair and a couple hours of work it was perfect. We are going black with a red transverse stripe across the front.

That's close to what I originally had in mind. Should look good! Can't wait to get my car in the garage & start working!!!
