Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! As you know, I love me da Dove Blue! Nice work! You'll have yours done before I'll have mine done (I'm so slow).

Uggh!! Found a task worse than pop out windows...

Need to bend the lock tabs on the vent wing, and should have cleaned the glass before photos.

Still going.... hooked up the battery to test electrical, and ran into issues. Couple of lines crossed and two grounding issues. Definitely slowed my progress. All good now! :)

Installed the seats.

Brakes are in! All new hard lines, soft lines, and a 67 repop master cylinder. Removed the residual pressure valve from the front circuit as I am running disc.

Lots of small tasks...

Almost there... details yet to go. Are they ever really finished?

Had to take photos for Hagerty valuation. Hopefully they understand the $$$.

Amazing job on everything!

Does the Sewfine seat cover for the 2/3 front seat have a solid back or is it open like stock? Did you install them? On a scale of 1-10, how hard was it? Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, open like stock, which means it goes down the back about 6 inches. Not too hard to install, just muscle and stretching. Can be a real pain if you over stuff. I used WW coconut pads and a 1/4 foam that I got at the local fabric store, covered the foam with a burlap then the cover. Call the project a 7+ (imagine it would be the same with TMI or others). I replace the string with wire, which seems to help.

Last time I checked in on your thread, you were dealing with windshield rust in December......

What a transformation! Beautiful!
