67 Barracuda convertible
"Time won`t let me" should be my theme song lately, as I haven`t had time to do much at all on the B`cuda. I did order a lot of interior seat covers, carpet, and door panels and have waited for time to install them. I got a 20% discount on it all due to the winter sales. Here`s a few pics of the rear seat cover install. These are from Legendary and are exact duplicates of the originals. I bought hog rings at the local hardware store, they`re about 1/4 the cost of buying them from Legendary or Year One. I cut the old rings off w/ the blue handled cutters and removed the old ripped covers. I installed the metal rods in the rear of the new seat cover after taking them from the originals. The muslin lining was in good shape so I left it and simply installed the new cover with hog ring pliers (red) and the help of a welding vice-grip. The vice grip makes the fabric easier to grasp and to stretch over the frame. There`s a copy of the build sheet that I`m just going to leave in it`s place. I`ll soon be doing the front seat covers and post photos as I go. This is good work to do since winter`s here, but I did do it all inside where it was nice and warm.
