Come on, It's been like 4 day's since an update
OKOK
I got the pair of pre 55 front seats and ripped the old OE covers off them and to my dissapointment the square thin frame around the springs are paper thin from years and years of getting wet and the pads holding moisture in there, couple are broke in half
By the time I got them to my door I paid a little over $400 for the set but the guy I bought them off of is a super stand up dude.....he has offered to refund me the entire $366 I paid him
(that includes the $66 out of his pocket for UPS shipping to Clipper Cargo!!!!) Talk about character!! I couldn't be happier
I think I may be able to salvage them with a lot of work but hey i'll have the right early seats NOT HONDA SEATS
(I know you're lurking Steve-O
)
found a set of pan seat tracks to weld into the 57's pan....they are different. should see them soon.
Oh and yes Trevor that roller started as a big hunk of alum round stock, turned down and machined on my lathe
Other than that I started working on the doors and trimmed the rear quarters a bit and clamped them over the existing ones to have a look see. hope to take a week off work soon and dive in and start cuttin
