    I'll be on Park Way, it's a high dollar neighborhood, I don't think I'll have to deal with rif raf, and by the way the city itself has changed big time, thanks to the BioTech that moved in.

    Maybe I could get My daughter to drive a car "over the hill" my ex in another car and me driving the "Booster"

    Thing is we need a date ASAP to be sure and get a room at a good rate, or I'll just come for a few hours (and i really don't want to do that) Seems like Your the one that would know Reno best, what's your take on this meet?

    Im stoked on it, but then i could just drive up each morning if needs be. unless they date it around late august early sept, rooms should be avaialble. of course if you can get them sooner they should be cheaper. the only concern i have is what type of security the mustang group is arranging. if it doesnt meet my approval, you may see me volunatrily sleeping in a lawn chair next to the cars. i had my truck stolen at one of the casinos parking lot with a cabover, no way im chancing that with my baby. once they release an official date and location, ill help you however i can.

    So you installed your seat covers yourself? I did notice that the
    covers from Automotive Interiors comes with the install kit. Was
    this a royal pain? Was your seat foam in good shape? I'm still
    deciding on whether to redo the stock bench or put the LDO
    buckets and rear seat in my '71. No of any problems with using
    the rear LDO seat from a '73 in a '71?

    Thanks, Don

    Yes I installed them (with some help) it's best to have two people to do it,one can pull and stretch the fabric the other one can install the hog rings. It does come with the hog rings and a cheap hog rings pliers, if you plan on doing your seats get yourself a good pair (less then $10) The foam on my seats was in good shape, I did add extra padding between the bottom of the seat foam and the springs and I interlocked all the springs with zip ties, made a world of differance.

    I don't know about anything about the LDO seats.

    I would be interested to know if they have the material for the LDO buckets.

    Tom, thanks for all your info. on the subject I will talk to you again when I receive my new Maverick Tues. Did you buy all the material, carpet etc. all from 1 place, and you installed the headliner, how much troudle was that, did you have to have your windows out to tuck the material? The seats look great, one more question for now, when I went to the web site I pulled up the bench seat portion, and they asked if you want standard, premium etc. which was yours and I did not see a year to dictate so I would get the proper fit. Thanks again Chandler
