[DeTomaso] Old Profiles or Newsletter article on recoveringCorvette seats

[David Bell]

Correct reference except for the name.  I do have a brother named Rick Bell, but 
he doesn't have a Pantera.  


Also the article is really about finding, converting, and installing Corvette 
C-4 seats in a Pantera, not recovering the seats.  I've since replaced the 
heavily modified Corvette seat tracks mentioned in the story with stock Pantera 
tracks.  That required drilling a few new holes in the floor pans but it gives 
me at least an inch of extra headroom for a track days helmet.  I still have the 
chopped and channeled Corvette tracks that would work great for someone with a 
shorter torso - available cheap.  


Dan Mixon wrote a companion Corvette seat article which is also stashed on the 
Space City Panteras page that illustrates an alternate mounting method that 
utilizes the stock seat tracks and mounting holes.

I'm doing an article for Gary Herrig on his seat business, and need to find
an old Profiles or POCA newsletter with an article by David Bell called
"Curing the Bends" about recovering Corvette seats.

Can someone please tell me what issue of which that may have been in?

Thanks
Mike Thomas
