72 Duster: You can lead a horse to water, but...

Awesome story. Glad you ended up with the car. Too bad Lipshitz lost interest, he's still your BIL so I guess he'll get a pass.

Yeah, It was a hard pill to swallow....admitting to myself that my hopes of having a car buddy in the family were fading fast.
I decided to gather some seats to take to the upholstery guy. My 67 Dart had these buckets....

I have a few rear seat cores to pick from too.
The upholsterer really likes it when I bring in seats that still have usable covers like this. He can use these as patterns to make the new ones. This is cheaper than ordering Legendary seat skins and takes far less time.
I considered putting these seats in the Dart...

I decided to leave them in the Duster until I get the new seats back. I don't know what I'll do with these. I'll keep them but don't know where I'll use them.
For the Dart, I put in a set of buckets that I got from a buddy. They were in some car at the Pick N Pull. They are non power and recline.

The Dart is a beater so function matters to me over factory correctness.
