Thanks! I have never had a great imagination (engineer brain). I have contemplated going red for a couple years, but I had no idea how much I would love it.

Interior is complete except for the seat. And one grayish brown wire under the dash, I can’t remember where it connects. I took apart the cluster to put my speedometer back in place, since it fell off during cam break in. Lol

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)

Appreciate it guys! It’s getting me re-motivated to finish this thing off and start driving it again. It’s really not far off if I can buckle down.

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)

Well I went to check out my seat at the upholstery shop. They did a VERY nice job on this seat. Smooth and tight. Except they had a miscommunication on the insert material. I had brought in my door panel, and they found matching material to make the inserts match the panels. But they ended up using something random. Still looks good, just not what I wanted.

They offered to fix it, which was great. The only issue is they will have to make the insert areas wider. Which is actually good, I think they need to be a little larger anyway.

What did you do with the buddy seats? I assumed you were going to do those in red. Bench does look sharp

The complete buddies moved along to Sacramento in an orange 68 stepper. Logically I should have done that, but I just wanted a bench.
