OK since i was off yesterday I spent some time in the garage. Out of seven bucket seats I was able to come up with a fairly decent set of seat trim and got them ready to ship to my buddy in Michigan for the treatment! Thought I show a before pic so you folks can see the difference when they...
A couple shots of the parts car since I still have nothing to post on the restoration...
Just wondering if anyone has ever seen this type of rear bumper guard? I like em.
And BTW, looks like I'm gonna convert to electric seats. The real reason I bought the parts car. The other seats I've...

Jim don't get too excited we still have a ways to go.....
But I'm told I should have the car back in my hands by maybe mid summer. Then its time for the interior, a new top, and reinstalling the trim.
OK, we finally have some movement here.
Engine is back together. The long and the short of it is the wrist pins were sized wrong and caused a small amount of grief! So some more cash to a new machine shop and pretty much a complete tear down and rebuild and we're back where we started?
We also...
