Well my mock up went a bit to far

I had intended to install the seats to "just see how they fit"
Then I thought I would see how my "e-bay deal" carpet would fit. Well it didn't. It was about 6 inches short width wise. Not wanting to deal with the hassle of returning it and since I got it cheep , I cut it right down the middle. Fit good after that.
I plan on adding a console later so it will cover the gap. In the mean time I made a panel and covered it with some black carpet .
More to come

**slepysal** · 09-02-2013, 10:50 PM

one more not bad for 50.00 seats !

WhippinSaw · 09-02-2013, 11:07 PM

That was a quick interior change. Dig the buckets, they look good and comfortable, ebay sucks for returns, look like you came up with a good remedy for the carpet. Karooze

LOOKS GREAT Sal!!!

gonna hit up King n Story..LOL
remember when they used to divert us to 101?and we would just cruise the freeway back to Santa Clara St and start all over again.

**slepysal** · 09-04-2013, 01:12 PM

Yup! I lived ( still do ) about 1/2 a mile from King & Story , behind Jack"s liquers.
When it would get real packed it was a trip trying to tell the cops I had to go past there road blocks to get home. They still have the "NO CRUSING" signs posted.

ChefCy · 09-04-2013, 01:21 PM

I remember when they put those up. I seen them again when I went back home to visit last year (been since 98 since ive been home before last year). My son and his family still live there.

gulfcoast66 · 09-04-2013, 06:01 PM

Thanks. I just got done installing some surplus Hummer 3 point seat belts.
As I had mentioned this a budget re do ,Craig's list, E-Bay have helped .

**slepysal** · 09-14-2013, 11:46 PM

Well things have been crazy around here, so progress has been slow.
I installed a different stereo. Here is a pic of the three point sea belts. Soon as things settle down I'll get the rest done.

Blue666 · 09-15-2013, 05:01 PM

What did you use for the center console?

I picked it up at a yard sale . I was going to make one , but this one worked out fine. It just sits on the floor now but fits great, and dosn't slide around.

ChefCy · 09-16-2013, 06:35 PM
