Re: A '54 named Busty
Exactly, and it is, it's the adapter for the temp sending unit which I need to stick in the back of the passenger side cylinder head, make sure it work's then loom the engine harness and button up the gauge cluster

Re: A '54 named Busty
I saw what you got these out of. Can you provide some height and length dimensions? I think I need something like these.

Re: A '54 named Busty
the base brackets are approximately 15" long up top and a bit shorter on the bottom at 13.5"

Re: A '54 named Busty
Too bad about the parts lost, but good news on the engine wiring progress.

Re: A '54 named Busty
although I enjoy wiring (yes I suffer from a condition called loominitus), I still think spreading it out over a few days makes sense in order to keep your nerve

Re: A '54 named Busty
I thought you had the 60/40 split bench seat. Then went back some pages and see you have the buckets.

Note: Some vehicles, such as the 1988-Up Chevy Trucks and Full Size Blazer have the original seat upholstery heat laminated to the foam making it very difficult to remove the old upholstery. Our seat kits for these models do not require the removal of the old upholstery. Our sets will go right over the original and hog ring where the original seat cover is attached. I'm not sure I am a fan of that. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
so a little seat update, took the seats to a different shop yesterday, the guy says yeah I will do them, I go great, let's unload them, he goes I don't want them! What?
he says I won't be able to get to them for 3 to 4 weeks so I don't want to store them, so he says bring them back in two weeks, I go but how will I keep my place in line? he goes I won't forget or something like that I honestly do not understand how these one man shops stay in business! actually I do, they don't ha ha, out of the 10 places I tried to contact 3 were already out of service |

Re: A '54 named Busty
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but have you looked at the seat covers made by Katskins (I think that is the correct spelling)
I hear they are very nice and they don't look, or fit, like 'covers' as they are made specifically for the make/model of your factory seat. just a suggestion?

Re: A '54 named Busty
Did you fall down after that ninth beer? That's how you found it down there?
