Either Steve was a huge dude or that seat is mounted high up off the floor! On second look, he must have been pretty tall as his shoulder blades are up on the headrest! thanks for posting the pics, Jeff, keep 'em coming! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
Sam, ill have to ask my dad what the deal is on the seats...he's not real tall so maybe the seats are mounted up higher for some reason ?

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
Seattle Sam, the guy with the camera around his neck is Steve Arentz......he looks to be about 6' tall. maybe he had the seat real far forward so when he mashed the pedal, he would raise up out of the seat a little.

But you know you really can't say enough good things about the relationship that you and your family have with Chris. I have heard some of the stories (such as bringing the car to Vettefest this year) and am sure that your dad is beside himself with the amount of kindness that has been demonstrated by Chris. In my opinion this speaks volumes for both sides. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif |
