be able to find something much closer to you, quite easily.
You might want to talk with Dave Henry of Henry's Street Rods, the premier
street rod shop in Sacramento, and find out who his upholstery guy is.

>>>Paul Rimov (among others) has BMW 325 Recaros in his car, and I can report
that they are absolutely fantastic for people who are sized/shaped like we
are. However, for somebody of your Sasquatchian proportions, they would
probably be a rather tight squeeze.
They are a little bit less aggressive than the seats in my car. Recall that
you found my seats completely unmanagable. His would be only slightly less
tolorable, I'm afraid....
I think your plan to have custom seat cushions made for your stock bases is
probably your best bet, at least for now....
