I'm sure there are several horror stories out there about problems with suppliers. My worst one was from Cubel's Ford Wood. We ordered a complete wood kit for a 1930 Cabriolet. We received the wood kit for a 1931 68C and didn't realize it until after we had already made some adjustments for the sub rails to fit into the cowl. The front cross sill and sub rails aren't compatible with the fixed seat base that is suppose to fit a Coupe or Cabriolet.

I don't think the seat base we bought would even fit the 1930 wood kit without some serious sheet metal work. Yes, that seat base for Coupe is for sell along with the original back rest riser that was in the Cabriolet.

The adjustable seat may not be necessary. I'm 5' 7" (and shrinking) and our son is 6' 3", so we decided to give our selves an option for comfort.
