Thanks! The seat covers were from distinctive industries, they are awesome I’m super happy with the quality, but they were about a 6 month wait, which they don’t tell you when you order. I’m glad I waited tho

Don't feel too bad about that. I think I waited over a year for my seat cover from SMS.

Thanks Tom!

I just finished the a/c rebuilt. Everything is new except for interior ductwork. Converted to 134. Kind of a pain get a/c working that probably hasn’t worked for 30 years

Beautiful build my friend. Very nice work. That blue with the saddle interior really pops.
