Ready for the road -almost. I just need to warm it up and set the timing and that shouldn’t take very long.
I could be held up if the seat cushions don’t arrive in the next week or so. Hopefully Jody will come through.
Next: Once the seats are in place I’ll be getting the bugs out of the engine/trans. Hopefully I won’t have much to report. This summer I’ll order all the parts needed to re-do the front end. I plan to replace all the a-arm and sway bar bushings. I’ll then get it aligned again and the car will be basically done as far as I want to go – unless I go for a paint job.
Hooray Jody just got back to me. Unfortunately the fabric I wanted didn’t arrive after 6 weeks so no luck there. As an alternative I picked out a GM-like hounds tooth fabric on the lighter side. I remember the seats in my old ’74 Camaro were black and white hounds tooth. This photo shows the buckskin vinyl and the gray/beige hounds tooth. It’ll take a week for the material to come in and I think I can be hopeful that I’ll see the seat cushions early in April 🙂
