Driver’s seat in place. I used 3/4″ hardwood blocks to get the seat level and up a bit. I found Studebaker kept the seats lower – maybe to accommodate drivers with hats as they did back in the ’50s.
Passenger seat in place and sure enough I realized that I made an error with the drivers seat. I started with the seat rails in the same adjustment notch, but somehow one rail jumped a couple of notches in the installation. I’ve left off the adjuster covers. I have to paint the levers to finish the job.
Both seats and console in place. I’ll actually have to drive the car to be sure I didn’t raise the seats too much or too little.
Back seat went in OK once I realized I needed to position the seat belt attaching brackets in the upward position.
That’s about all for the ’66. It is now pretty well ready for the road 🙂
Lots of stuff for the Chevy. New console, antenna, gas and temp gauges, upper console AC vents, shift boot, and other rubber parts. I also have a used intermittent wiper switch and tach face to install. Lots to do and I’m keen to start.
