*... Test fitted the seat covers and there is no provisions for hog rings but they give you the rings and pliers in the kit. Like the street rodder article im adding wood to the frame to staple the covers to. I have some oak im using for filler on the edge of the door panels so ill use that to staple to also..
Heres some pics of the seat covers the seat frame and the door and kick panel on the drivers side and i still need to do some finish work there.. Oh ya there is also a pic of thr rear panel for the quarters and behind the seat without the seat..

No look at the pics.. There isnt any place to attach em unless you wanna drill everyone.. :x I shoulda took a pic of how the covers attached before i tore it apart. My Bad... They used a plastic channel stretched it and set in place if that makes any sense.. I have one or 2 left ill take a pic tomorrow. Ezboy could duplicate this i would think but im sure it would add cost..
Dinner is ready and im tired..

The other problem is the steel is all double wall and it would be a PIA to drill and also you would never be able to pull the fabric tight enuff doing it that way...

Well the bottom is all done cept the smooth part at the end of the seat near the dash is sewn crooked.. I put in an email to Jerry at ezboy's and we will see what he can do.. The back looks good but its gonna take some batting to smooth out the very top panel.. Ill work on than tomorrow.. I have taken more pics to show what it takes to make all this work but im not gonna post em till prolly this weekend. leonard has been bothering me so when im not working im trying to straighten him out and that may take a while :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Msuguydon............ your S^&T is weak were comming to indy for the car show...

My "niece" really wants to go to Roller Derby (she wants to see the other girls from the club :shock: skate) and I may have one or two of my boys with me... so the Drinks will be kept to a reasonable limit.. so I am pretty sure I am gonna make it Roller Derby
Ok back on topic... I emailed jerry at Ezboy interiors.. and he is sending a call tag for the seat cover.. I told him im keeping the back cause its ok. I also told him I wouldnt complain if it wasnt about an inch or more off .. He is being really helpful so no complaints here . So far so good.. I told him also that im on a few message boards and im asked for progress pics and stuff and id like to give good reports.. Anyway I have the back kinda in place on the seat and now i have to adjust my rear panel opening so the seat has a little more clearance.. Thats tomorrows project along with more on the door and kick panels.. I really thought id have most of the interior cept carpet done this weekend but nope nada.. Its a shame the color and the layout is great..

Humm double post..
Hey I got my taxes done last night and looks like im gonna have enuff for my top :!: Sue told me to keep the cash and go for it.. :lol: :lol: I now have to check pricing again but I got a better price from the guy i got the wheels from.. The other thing i gotta do is get with work and change my withholding cause im taking way too much out for the feds every week.Its a long story and nothing that needs to be covered here but i had to CMA on some business dealings and that lead to upping my deduction a couple times. Im thinnin i can use the money in my check every week rather than have uncle sam draw interest on it..
