I appreciate the encouragement, guys, but I helped a guy once put on a Legendary kit.
It was a mo-fo ***** and results were less than stellar.
Plus, my seats need new foam and then there are the carpetted seat backs, and, and, and...


So, I guess I don't wanna...

Totally understandable... I hope the results are to your standards.

X2, look forward to seeing how she turns out! I hope you end up keeping bittersweet.

Now if only legendary would make formal/forgotten B covers...

Got a scare today.
Upholsterer started work on seats today. Called me up
"They're the wrong seat covers!!"

Figured it out. I forgot to tell him I was replacing the '67 pattern with the' 68 pattern...

 

[Fratzog]

Envy you southern guys. Your car looks very solid underneath. I makes sense having a skilled old timer do the upholstery. Look forward to seeing pics of the results.

 

[Stormer]

What'd I miss here? Stan's keeping the car?

 

[Boomer]

Looking forward to seeing the results. New Interior is one of the things on my list and the foam in the driver's seat is shot, so new covers and foam here eventually, too. It's always good to see and hear what others think of a product, installation, and all the rest.

It'll be a helluva ride when you're done, Stan.

It'll be a helluva ride when you're done, Stan.

He's done. He's just going to drive it.

 

[Zymurgy]

Looking forward to seeing the new seats

I would say it's a YES

 

[commando1]

As long as it is still mine, I am going to enjoy it... I earned at least that.

 

[Stormer]

Nah, you're just lucky.

 

[68Nwprt]

Why the switch to the 68 pattern?

 

[commando1]

67 isn't available. 68 was.
Down the road, 1 person in a million, even if it was at Carlisle, would pick up on it.

 

[68Nwprt]

I see... looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

[commando1]

They're back from the Upholsterer. Now to find the missing bolts..

They look pretty good... and a few temperature cycles in the sun usually tightens them up just a little more and they will be perfection. I am glad you did this, even if you put the blanket back on top, it pains me to know the seats are torn. Now we need to hear about how much better they feel with the new padding after they're installed...

 

[1978 NYB]

Those look pretty nice Stan!

 

[Fratzog]

Those are very nice. Almost too nice to sit on. Look forward to seeing them in place.

 

[Big_John]

Looks good. Did you do the back seat too?
