Looking good!! keep up the good work. I know how you feel with the heat and han sanding. I live in Fl. and did all the body work on my drivers door and fender by (dumb me didn't want to wait a couple of days and get a sander) but stick with it its worth it in the end.

Looking awesome Lukester, when the temp cools down a bit (about 30 degrees) I'll come over and help you! If you have a 220 outlet outside, I'll bring my compressor and DA to help speed things up a bit!

Seats look like they ought to work fine after you get a higher base made for them. How much do you imagine you will raise them?
