    had a guy follow me home and said he had some maverick bucket seats that have been in his basement for a long time. so i picked up these for $75. made the risers for them and bolted them down. i'm planning on dying them sometime soon. right now just about all of my money goes to pay for gas because i drive to school everyday :)

    Matt, it makes me feel good to see such a young man not only enjoy Mavericks, but dig in and do most of this work himself. You are a very impressive young man! Keep up the great work. Your car looks good right now. You are on your way to having an awesome car one day. :thumbs2:
