Great money saving tip. Most restorations are not concourse show cars where you need a date coded wire loom. Actually in the days when this stuff wasn't available aftermarket this is the sort of innovations people restoring cars came up with.

[@HeavyPedalGarage]

Absolutely man! This thing has trans am, formula, and esprit model parts in it. Not to mention metal from a 68 c10 and a 91 chevy 1500. She's a mess but she's my baby. Just needs to look good and drive like a demon! LOL! 🤘

[@henryst.germain2317]

Agree - Better than factory! Nice job!

[@BackyardGarage1]

Thanks buddy!

[@hermanmunster5831]

Ive seen coat hangers also but ur idea is easier to work with 👍👍🙏🙏

[@HeavyPedalGarage]

Heck yeah. It worked out well, but i could see where coat hangers would be super strong!

[@RusticByNature]

Awesome Great job.

[@HeavyPedalGarage]

Thanks! I appreciate ya checking out the video and commenting!

[@MrBigSRT]

Nice video with some great tips, but if you don't have left over material laying around. What do you do?
You need to buy the materials.
You can buy inexpensive heavy duty mirror or picture frame wire. What ever gauge you want. 100' of stainless braided is fifteen bucks. It comes with crimps. You may need to buy more crimps, but they are cheap. 30 bucks in it and looks good.
Thanks for the video.

[@HeavyPedalGarage]

Great ideas! Keeping it affordable too! Good stuff!

[@stusoldcars4248]

@@brracing7861 sweet. I’ll check out your channel. That porting sounds rowdy. Good stuff!

[@ponchonutty]

How has this held up? The old wire was metal, this new is copper. Copper doesn’t like to be bent a lot similar to metal but worse

[@HeavyPedalGarage]

It has held up fine. Im 200+ pounds and sits in it regularly. Im sure the plastic coating helps a good bit.

[@firemanruss]

Did you have to replace the s shape springs that are under the other seats? I have a few that are a bit rusty and weak, and was hoping for some inspiration for those too? I guess any rod and a brake line bender might be the best approach but wondering what you came up with, if you had replace them before

[@HeavyPedalGarage]

I didn't have to replace them. Maybe the s hooks off of some rubber bungee cords would work, with some adjustments.
