I only had one real job in all of this.....well, maybe two!

One - stay out of the way!!

Two - find those elusive bucket seats I just had to have and get them rebuilt and ready to install.

Luckily, I had found a guy near my house who had purchased 18, yes, that is eighteen, parts trucks to build two complete trucks. On my first trip to his place, he mentioned having a pair of bucket seats, in one of the many truck carcasses on his property that he wasn't planning to use. I was able to trade him out of them and made a great contact in the process.

I've delivered them to Sew it Seams, here in New Braunfels, Texas, and Brian Dallimore is in responsible charge of stripping them down, media-blasting and powder-coating the frames and re-upholstering them. I ordered the new foam kits and custom covers from Southwest Classics in Arlington, Texas.

I'm going for black with the red/black hounds-tooth inserts! I think it will look great when it all comes together!
