I got the same seats in my old hot rod. It’s a nice comfy seat for us old guys

Too bad the seat back adjuster in on then passenger side but it works just fine.

What color is that one? It’s either the light grey or light green? Doing a great job brother.

Cliff Ramsdell

 

It's gray, same as the one for the 31. Will post a pic of that one tomorrow. It has been upholstered in red and cream.

Thanks Cliff, and all,

jim

 

Got the same seat. Who did your upholstery? I like it

 

A shop here in town. he does all my work. Not super show quality, but he has never made me want to look else where.

 

Here is the door panel for the 31

 

Seat looks good! I just dropped my seat off to get done last week.

 

looking good. I like your stead consistent progress.

 

Thanks to all who visit and reply.

It is moving slowly.There are things I must push myself to do.When they don't get finished it adds to frustration, But I still have to go to the shop.

O/t, had to work on lights yesterday, one tube was flickering,couldn't get it to stop with 2 new tubes. Went to wally world. Picked up a cheap LED not knowing what it was. also picked up 2 new tubes. Installed new tubes no light now. Took the new light out of the box, no tubes.Hooked it up and wow, a good light with no tubes. As bulbs go bad I will be replacing with the LEDs .

thanks,

jim

 

It has been about 3 weeks since I posted. Just back from Dr ,my kidneys are operating at 31%, Dr says if we can't get them to at least 40 % you are going on dialisis. New word for me and a dreaded one.

I was hoping to get the back half finished before this came along. Doesn't look like that will happen. Just have to wait and see.

Jim,
I liked your post because it was good to see you back. Hope all goes well and again, if I can help some let me know.

Cliff

 

Thanks Cliff and all others. This may be my Waterloo.
You all gave me support when I needed it and encouraged me , but this has taken a toll on me. Maybe after the first of the year.

 

Jim,
Never say never! You give me incintive to get my ass up an out in shop. Do what doctors say and get that percent up. I am going back to Florida for the holidays and I will try to plan a longer stop in Warner Robins on the way back.
I will keep you in my prayers.

 

looking good! doors are a pain in the ass. it took me several hours of bolting and unbolting and shimming before I was happy with the way they fit. I dig your interior. gonna look nice

 

Thanks Bill and Lo.This will pass, and I will get back on the project,just not now.

Thanks,

jim
