We chatted on the phone this morning about the stitching and piping
They'll stitch in the pattern, unlike the pressed vinyl like the Legendary skins
This look, just with the ivory vinyl mixed in
Stop in for a cup of coffee

I have a buddy locally that does interiors as well. He has done many restorations and customs.
The pressed stitching is original...although I'm not real sure...legendary is usually 100 percent like original
I bought a machine used to do my own upholstery in my 66 dart. Came out ok..
Nice. I had a desire for a heavy duty machine to build or modify field gear. Turned out it was easier to just pay the parachute riggers in beer to get things sewn up
Newton's law. Whatever will go wrong, will go wrong. Nothing ever goes as planned. Just need to accept that. Got stuff moved around in the garage, secured and lowered the car on the rotisserie. Had a couple of buddies help me get it outside. And there it sits. Tried four different towing companies today to move this thing, 5 mi away. LOL. Actually had a guy show up here with a truck that was too small to handle the load. The bed was not long enough. Now have contacted a heavier duty towing company that will come tomorrow morning and pick it up.. haven't had a beer or an alcoholic beverage in 3 weeks. But I just went out and bought a few beers. LOL
Yes, add how many umpteen miles to the trip. 5 good days from BC to Mb.

Improvise, adapt and overcome! Well done Mitch!
When you get that back from blasting do you clean out any media and epoxy it right away to stop flash rust or start fixing metal first? Actually.. does that thing even have any rust?
With those wheels, put a coupler on the front and tow it
redneck towing at its finest
When it gets back, it must be sprayed with rust inhibitor immediately , then sprayed with Epoxy Primer... Hope that all goes Logistically Well. Hard to depend upon Anybody these days...
Actually, That thought Crossed my mind......With those wheels, put a coupler on the front and tow it
Today i am reminded why i hate working on late models. This water pump is a nightmare. Oh well, keep plugging away. Break’s over!
Looks like no rain here for the next ten days, so I think I am alright........
3 hrs and pump is out. 19 bolts/nuts just on water pump. +4 pulley bolts. And pulley comes out loose on pump,as no room to remove. Put back in morning..had enough.
There’s only two shops anywhere near me and they’re both known to be very expensive
Hmmm sounds like a business opportunity to me
Well when you’re done and wanna sell that rotisserie, let me know
Wow just checked into Legendary, 154 day lead time for a bench seat cover for my truck….
Wow that's a long time to wait.
So I got the new fuel tank in the 59 Apache, new dist. in the hole, carb on and everything hooked up. I can't find the timing mark to set the Dist. so just brought it up on TDC and hope for the best. took the valve cover off to set the timing and thought I'd find lots of **** under it but no really clean in there.
Skål Folks...
Seat frame is ready. I'll drop it off tomorrow.
P.S. I know my welds suck... I welded and it helded.
