Interior continues.


Mike did an incredible job installing the upholstery. They look great, but I was also surprised at how good they feel. The old seats had been reupholstered in the 1980s, but using the original foam and improvised webbing to support that foam (in lieu of a rubber sling that had failed). This time, all non-metal parts for the seats have been replaced. They literally look and feel like new.
The area behind the seats still needs to be done, plus I have the restored steering wheel to install. It is a good two inches larger, and will make getting in/out a bit more tricky. Here the front of the seat is mounted in the high position, so lowering the seats is an option..
