Looks great!

 

well MY judgment is that it is a beauty--you are a spoiled man!

 

WOW, that seat looks great...Ashley's got some skills. Better be careful, or you're gonna be working for her soon.

 

Soon? I've turned into her bitch now
Good enough, i told her the benefit of owning our own upholstery shop, is we can recover it over and over until we get it right. But not bad for her 2nd bench. We, and i mean me, messed up a couple of patterns on the bolster, but hey, you should've seen my 2nd paint job lmao!

 

absolutely beautiful

 

Thank ya sir, not as good as it should be, but we learned a LOT about a 57 Chevy front seat lmao...

 

Looks great. HRP

 

Wow looks great!

 

I haven't followed the whole thread so bare with me if mentioned before. Not a 57 or even 55-56 seat. It's what I've seen in Olds and Pontiacs of the era.

 

Sweet seat!! The white looks killer.

 

I have no clue brother, it was in the car and this is the only tri five I've owned, so i just assumed it was the stock seat. It's uncomfortable as hell.

 

Not knocking it. I'd rather see that seat then what the new fangled fad being done to these car's today. It may not be a 57 Chevy seat, but those side cover are sweet. Guy's would kill for them.

 

I guess it would be better if it had foam, but it'll work for now. Yeah i can't stand to see late model seats in an old car.

 

Looks terrific...probably a $400-$500 upholstery job...sure hope you paid her, and didn't screw a struggling new business woman out of her labors

 

I was just about to ask what that seat is from. It's definitely period-correct, and it looks nice now all recovered, but it's not a Chevy seat. It's a custom anyway, so if it works, it works.

 

And with the doors closed non will be the wiser.

 

Yep!!
It is now a Mrs. Lloyd hotrod seat!! And it looks great!!

 

Well, that's all I'm doing!!! I like it, need to make kick panels, but I'm out of time.

 

Looks good from here!

 

Nice hair cut!

 

I gots the samurai ponytail going on momma uses it as a handle to put my face right where she wants it

 

Fu Man Chu!

 

LOL! Dammit Johnny... Now I gotta go and watch the Pink Panther!

 

Been out driving the 57, oil pressure is dropping to nothing at idle and the lifters ain't happy.

 

OUCH! - Not going to read back 1,700+ posts to get the details on the engine...

Maybe switch to 20-50 weight oil and cross your fingers???

 

At least if you break down you have a nice interior to enjoy while you wait on a tow..

 

What distributor? What I'm really asking is does it look like this?


And at the base.

 

Pulled the filter and cut it open, no metal, but a lot of sludge looking crap, like moly lube. Drained the oil, no metal. Gonna see if it was the filter, and put 20w50 in it. If that ain't it I'll pull the pan

 

No it's an hei.
