[DeTomaso] Seat Recommendations Needed

[John Maffeo]

I agree with Michael. I've had mine since 2002 and have driven to Vegas and Monterey from Seattle. Very comfortable. A great feature compared to my early seats is that they lean tilt forward making removal of the bulkhead very easy. He can make then in whatever material you desire and can do custom stitching if you wish.

Remove the springs and you'll be fine and the ride is fine, I've made up to
a 5 hour trip with no discomfort.
