Not bad for free. And I think the 62 year old wood looks appropriate. I think it came out good.

Also I got my seat back. Had it covered with black crushed velvet with a diamond pleat with silver thread. Who want's to cruise??
I have a seat just like that in a dark blue here in Tucson if anyone can use it come and pick it up !!!
There are more parts to come...... I am moving and getting rid of the AD parts, I will post them later as I "un cover them"

Sadly I do not know, this guy advertises them once in a while, says he gets them from a guy in LA area that builds show cars, they have been mounted, bases were modified to sit on a flat floor, I can find no manufacturers marks on them. 425 for the set.

Any advice appreciated.

Throw that tape measure away and buy a new one!!! If you don't get rid of it before you get the new one, the new one will get infected!

Spent an hour at the hose shop getting power steering hoses made up. Pick them up today. Trimmed camaro radiator mounting tabs and started removing inside angles on the core support to give room to lower the radiator in. Someday...............

Just ordered new engine/trans crossmembers and mounts. The first step in many of a badly needed rehab for this sucker.

After I patched the inner, I patched the outside also...while I had the outer cut off, I cleaned inside the door of the door shell with a wire stripper wheel, reaching in as far as possible without getting too cut up! Then I "sealed" the back of the welds with epoxy panel adhesive. When its all welded up, I'll reach in thru the access hole and brush in rust stop primer, then rust proof it with that runny waxy rust proofing spray. I'm hoping that will hold off the rust for another 50 years or so!! (Sorry but no picture after I cleaned up the inner.)
