I was all proud of getting away with out having to do that by myself, but when the body went on and I started to connect everything. Guess what.. I forgot to put the clutch fork in when I had it all apart! I can laugh about it now I guess.

I am saving up to do my bench seat overhauls (cushions and covers) on all 3 benches, which is huge money to do because of all the materials and labor for 3 benches.

I'd love it if you could take detailed pictures of your current benches, because that is the pattern I am going with but in the original lite green and black vinyl/fabric.
Chris,

I cut some of the material off the bench seats and am sending to SMS Auto fabrics in Canby Oregon for a quote. I'll make sure they know you are looking for the same material for your rig. I can also send you a small patch of the material. PM me you mailing address if you want a sample pc.

Yeah putting the Trans/Tcase in major pain in the ass, fork lift sounds much better!
