Re: A '54 named Busty
and so I shot it, and oh my my, it sprayed and covered so well, I hate to say this but it was worth the wait, and it looks like this product loves hot weather and I strongly and absolutely do NOT recommend shooting it in the Winter by any means, the difference of how it came out today vs when I used the exact same product on my inner fenders and fenders was night and day!
so here it is, it is still drying but I love how it turned out, it looks so good in person, I think one of the key things to proper application is keeping a nice far away distance, I think 18 inches or so, also I used all kinds of techniques but the circular motion seemed to yield the bestest results |

Re: A '54 named Busty
nest decided to take advantage of the 100° F heat and give the bench seat a much needed baff
I really like this bench seat, it is such a simple yet efficient design, it pivots on two bolts, no more no less, brilliant, love it !!! |

Re: A '54 named Busty
decided to treat myself to some stainless steel hardware for the bench seat, the previous owner used some random 5/16s hardware not even grade 5 and not even worthy of taking pics so I tossed it in the trash upon uninstallation, so I decided to upgrade to 3/8ths in stainless

Re: A '54 named Busty
Traffic Master for a Thrift Master, who knew?
Carpet did fit pretty good on the first cut.

haha well you did name it busty. I guess I never noticed how the gauge pods looked like a pair of hangers, some GM engineer is having a chuckle right now.

Re: A '54 named Busty
got the old bench seat in there with the brand new stainless hardware, I must say the previous owner did a good job of coming up with a smart simple mounting system aside from using cheap hardware
I know I teased you with the bucket seats, but those are for my '71 plus on the account of the virus and money (technically lack there of) I need to run the bench seat for a while |
