just from my experience, drivers dont and wont know anything about the car. They get in it and drive it fast no matter what it is. They aren't always concerned with how or why it does.

Yeah you would probably be better off getting in touch with some of the teams that ran the cars back then like Arena Motorsport or Team Dynamics.

Finished the door pulls boys! Came out sick
Here are the original door lever brackets that I had to modify to work with the new pulls. You can see the tab that holds the end of the actuator cable in the first picture. I had to weld in a piece of metal to extend the tab so the strap wouldnt stick out too far, aswell as flip it upside down so the strap would come out flush with the door.
.
.
Kitty was overseeing the sewing process... maybe she knew it was the first time Ive ever touched one of these things
.
.
Both straps sewed up
.
.
And the drivers side attached to the cable. You can kind of see the stitching here. The cable had a 90 deg metal end on it so I slid it in the open end of the strap then hand stitched around both parts of the cable end.
.
.
All done!

Thanks for the props guys Im glad this seyup is getting good feedback
Thanks dude, they def add a nice splash of red to the doors to even it out through the interior
Id be happy to make you a set. PM me with what you have in mind
Yeah man, I can Imagine it would take some getting used to but out race cars have a similar setup so Im so used to opening doors that way now its like second nature

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Another update for you guys. I finally got around to refinishing my seat like Ive wanted to since I got it. I wasnt feeling the glossy carbon (if you guys havent noticed I HATE shiny carbon) lol.
Since the harness guides are bonded together you have to break them to get the seat upholstery off. Since Im not ready to get a new cover I just masked them off and pulled the cover back.
Here it is wet sanded and prepped:

And cleared!

All done and looking smooth and sexy

I think glossy is sick but after seeing that I think that looks just as good if not better! The seat looks brand new!
