I dropped the front and rear seats off at the upholsterer on Tuesday afternoon, he called and said come get them Monday morning! Of course, the car isn't ready for them yet, I am in the process of patching new floor in the car. I only need to do the front, and the drivers side is done. Hopefully I can get to the passenger side in the next few days, because until then, the seats will be in the dining room. Here are a few pics of my progress...
First I cut out the sill. I took measurements to the metal supply yard and they cut and bent it for me right there.
Sealed my seams even though I solid welded everything.
I still need to smooth out the weld at the sill/rocker, but I think it turned out pretty well. It's getting carpet anyway, so I wasn't going for artistic quality. I don't think I'm going to get the rubber sill caps that were original, so we will need to figure out how to end the carpeting and make it look good. That's still a long way off. I also need to get my seatbelts and mounting brackets so I can locate and weld them in place. The drivers side took me a lot longer to do than I though it would. Of course. And I still need to find a good access panel for around the pedals. I'll be posting pics of the seats when I get them tomorrow!
