We dropped by there last night. Great facility for an indoor show, and a bunch of vendors already in the lot.

We attended the "Vettes on the Point" show at Smith Mountain Lake, VA, this past weekend. Perfect weather at a fantastic location. Thought I'd share some pics.
If you'd like to see more, they're all here.

Volzfan and I got covers from Corvette Originals in GA. He does more than just the C5 seats he lists. In fact, the guy who recommended him to us has them on his '90 seats, and they look really nice.
Regarding colors, materials, and stitching, he can do about anything you would want. They're still not cheap, but a lot less than the Knochs. And he's a good guy to talk to. I've only got about 5000 miles on mine, but I'm really happy with them so far.

I suspect the Huskers will have a really good 2010 season, with a BCS bowl a very good possibility. I'm impressed with the progress Coach Pelini is making, and fully expect them to beat Texas this year. Yeh, they're getting thrown in the deep end for 2011, but I think they'll do fine.
Down here, our expectations aren't nearly as high. Regardless, come tomorrow, and many other Saturdays this fall, I'll be right here:

I didn't measure the load, but its pretty low. An actuator rated for lifting 50 lbs should easily be strong enough. Mine are still working fine, but I might be interested in some faster ones if the price is right and I could make them work.

As far as mounting, I know that both C4 seats and C6 seats have been installed in C3s, but I havent personally talked with anyone who has done that. My guess is they will each require about the same degree of fab work as the C5 seats I installed, unless you want to keep the power tracks, which would probably require some floor pan modifications as well.
