I finally located a good head; had to take the ferry over to Kenmore. Then located a X/19 being parted and got the seats for $20, need new covers but I like the style. Will be doing them in leather. Yesterday, picked up a better dash; just needs a bit of patching but no huge cracks like what I have.
Will begin making up new door panels (black) and dye the package trap vinyl. I have a wood lathe so will be replacing knobs and small details with wood. I like using the root sections as they have a tighter grain and more twists.
She's now safely in the garage so I can work warm and dry thru winter.
Have the wood for the glove box door, center dash, and forward console done; cherry stained birch. Have added a 4 switch panel to the forward console for the lites. Have to temporarily mount the spoiler to determine angle so I can cut openings for the fog lamps.
Run, Forest, run
Was a busy week
General chat about the car goes in here.
