Everyone on vacation or something??? I got my repop drivers seat frame from herbs. it's awesome.

I'm still looking for a set of tracks. I'm really thinking about getting the e-body re-pops and just sitting an inch lower. i'm 6'3", it shouldn't be a big deal.

LOL Thanks Bruce!

Once it warms up, the vinyl will stretch a little better and I can work out a couple ripples.

for everyone's reference, that's the e-body seat frame (part EBCKTST) from herb's parts. it's not listed under the B-body section, those are the MD2050 71-74 foams from classic, and the ember gold seat covers from legendary.

I had to cut the structure for the square button off my original seat and weld it to the new one. that was the only modification I made to the seat frame. There were also a couple welds that were sharp on the seat frame and I had to give those a little grind.

Wrestling match with the seat covers and foams supplied by me.

I'm trying to work on my motor. Waiting on a swaging tool to make a hold down cable for the engine.

I got my dash wired and put in, need to put a couple grounds in, and I need to find the plate that holds the steering column. I can't find it....anywhere...

anyone got a picture of the underside of the steering column where it bolts to the dash and structure?? I just want to be positive i'm looking for the correct thing.
