    front seat position

    Has anybody modified drivers seat positioning.  It feels like I'm sitting on the floor.  Would love to raise my seat to a more upright setting.  The rear bolts are horizonal secured, so would a steel bracket be safe.  Does any other seat tracks work?

    Speedo too high

    I have a FMX from a Torino in my mustang.  The speedometer reads about 10 percent too high.  Would a taller or shorter tire improve the reading or just change speedo gear.   I would like a wider tread running 245-60's now.

    Hood Painting

    Thinking about painting my hood for more aggressive look.  Not sure if I want the all blacked out look of the 71 Boss with just a little body color on each side or stock NASCAR  look.  Also want to blacken lower valance front to rear on sides.  All will look good against yellow body
