this thread needs more rust
got the sill plates off, installed the dome light, mat, and seat..
had to cut a few screws and chase a lot of threads but it all went together fairly decent I think..
little trick I'll share in case someone hasn't seen it;
the truck shop mat went down pretty easy and most of the holes lined up with the impressions on the back..
especially pleased how well it sits in there since I dropped it right on the bare floor without tar or foam or anything yet..
$10 harbor freight gasket punch kit is probably spent, but did the trick for the mat and the seat..
even cleaned up all of the original pedal pads.. wd40 and steel toothbrush to clean and stand up a little fur to cut the gloss..
de-greased with 409 to get that squeaky, non-slip finish back..
my 6yo took some of these while I was trimming and fitting..
the seat story about this fabric from SMS has been beat to death so I'll spare everyone..
but the work Mando from San Pedro did putting it together is great, really comfortable seat..
and while I was cleaning all of the mechanisms and lubing the tracks, found what I think is a date..
all of the LOF glass is dated Feb or Mar 65 so 2/8/65 would fit, anyone know about this?
kids dig it! they took turns driving
