The seats do look pretty nice.
I have no doubt the kids are going to love it. They already ask to ride almost every day.

If it were any longer, I'd be building a new garage out back. My problem is trying to work around all the bicycles, tricycles, scooters, and powerwheels. My kids could fill up their own garage!

Getting them back in will be more of a pain. Looks like you got a good base to work with as projects go.
I'm happy to hear that the glasses come out easily. I'll certainly take your advice when the time comes to pull them. Thanks!

I have accumulated everything needed for a steering rebuild, new front suspension components, and front brakes. Once I get an evening to get started, the front should go fairly quickly. Updates coming soon!
