Project- Bills Buggy

Howdy gang... well its time for another buggy update... Actually have managed to get a few things done in the past couple weeks.. its nice to actually be working on the car again somewhat..

So... I finally decided to make the switch to bucket seats.. now this was something I had planned from the day I bought the buggy.. but as time went on, my wife liked the bench.. so I decided I would leave it.. I however still intended to convert from column shift to floor shift (probably with a quarter stick or something to that effect) .. problem is, my wife is short lol.. so it was gonna be tough to get the bench adjusted up far enough for her (she does want to drive the Dart at some point) .. that and Im not really into wanting to lean forward for the shifter.. So.. buckets it is... Now finding A body buckets proved to be hard as hell... I managed to find A body tracks at the Nats.. seats.. still nothing.. the prices were just too much. So I managed to find a set of later B body seats... The price was right, and after doing a good bit of research (and thanks to many members help on here) I know these seats will fit and work.. (they will of course need recovered at some point but they are in nice enough shape I can get some seat covers at the local auto part store and run 'em til I build up the small fortune it will cost for custom covering... lol...

Well also got back to the body work, got the quarter to door gap all fixed up and pretty on the passenger side, and almost have the front fender done.. At some point I will find a better passenger side fender.. but you know how it is.. they are EXPENSIVE.. and money here is way tight.. so it took a lot of beating and banging, and more mud than I would like to get this fender into workable shape... but it will do the job until such a point as I can afford $300 or better for 1 fender...

So all in all its been a good couple weeks.. hopefully the car still sees paint before October.. we shall see...
