Well, this is long overdue, but not a lot has been happening.

I managed to score a pair of 15x10 Cragar SS's with a box full of the correct uni-lug lug nuts and washers for $200.

After having 'craigslist find' tires fall apart last year, I opened the changepurse a little wider and put new tires on.

I need to make my door extender a bit longer so the door clears...

I also have a couple surprise items to be added, I will update when I receive them.... some won't be in my hands until the nats.....

Swapped out seats today...

[Linked Image]

The stock highbacks were in ok shape, only some minor tears, but no armrests. I like armrests.

The new seats are from a PT Cruiser of all things. The track width is identical, length is a bit longer so I drilled two holes in the stock van pedestals. These seats are almost a direct bolt in swap!

[Linked Image]

They sit the same height as the stock seats, and the armrest is on the same level as the door armrest. They are cloth, so less sweaty in the summer. Best of all, I got them at the local self serve junkyard for under $50 for the pair!

Nice score. They look better in the van then they would've in the PT Cruiser.

How do the belts work? Did you need to change the buckles/brackets?
