Back On The Wagon

I agree! Well done.

 

Done with the rust repairs. Color match isn't great but good enough for a temporary repair. Better than driving around with rust or primer spots.

 

Damn, I think it looks pretty close! Nice work!

 

Packed the wheel bearings, new pads and rotors. My seat will be done this week and then I can drive it!

 

Always exciting when you arrive at this phase.

 

Yes it is and right now is prime cruising weather here in the desert Southwest!

 

We're still a few months away from our prime cruising weather. I hope it all goes smoothly and you're able to drive it and enjoy it soon.

 

Got my seat back and installed. Very happy with how it turned out. I do need to dye the headrests tomorrow.

 

The seat looks great!

 

Yes it does!

 

'Form follows function,' right? So how does the seat feel when you sit in it?

 

It feels great! Before it felt like I was sitting in a hole. In fact I needed to get a different frame because mine was broken in multiple places. It's now very comfortable to drive!

 

Splendid! Yeah, I need to find a new seat for my '79 Ranchero; it's broken in a couple places, and also feels like I'm in a hole. The only upside to that? I'm 6'6" and my head isn't up against the headliner.

 

I'm considering it done! I buffed and detailed it today and while it's nowhere near perfect it looks good enough that I'm not going to spend the time and money on a complete repaint. Time to drive and enjoy it! Now I have two done cars so I can switch off driving them.

 

Looks like a very respectable driver to me!
