    Wow I'm glad you posted that! There was one sitting in a maverick that I just parted out.. I kept it because it looked like a good fit and had no idea what it had came from haha. They are a nice peice especially with the ash tray in them

    Got my Seats done!!

    I bought the materials 4 years ago before my car was even finished. I've been waiting for three years to get my seats done. The only thing that has been holding me back was the money tree. It just wasn't growing. But miracles do happen and I finally came up with the cash.

    The seats came out even better th an my expectations. My interior guy does beautiful work. Now the car is finally done - well I guess they say you are nver really done with a classic car - there is always more to do. But I am done for now. Now it is time just to sit back and enjoy it.
    The outside of the car looks just like my first car (as you'll notice in my avatar). For the inside I decided to go with a custom interior that mimics the original. :dance:
