Having the state forest as my largest neighbor doesn't hurt anything either. I have one lot between me and the state lands. It's completely land locked by my property and the state lands with no easements. |

40+ years of weather and sunlight tends to break the foam down. Not to mention the dirt, pollen, mold, and mildew along with the prior owners' butt groove worn into it. The new stuff is better quality foam as well so it lasts longer than the stuff GM used. I put a new butt foam in my 2005 and it was night and day different. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I don't see how people can live in areas where you can't drive a wheelbarrow into the back yard because the neighbors houses are too close.
My area is going to stay rural. The minimum subdivision size is 5 acres to stunt hyper development. No more than one dwelling per parcel too. Barns and sheds all you want but only one house to live in. |

In for pics of the new seat.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Just getting caught up here. Congratulations to you and wife for 20 years! That's fantastic really. And this might sound weird, but seeing both of your rigs parked at a campsite underlines the benefit of your investment in the family together. Love seeing it man. And it's good to see Rusty doing truck stuff out in the wildlands.

just a quick update, the upholster I was supposed to take the bench seat to lives up in the forest I believe he is safe and out of harms way and his area is not on fire, however I haven't been able to make the treck lately and last thing I need is my seat burning up in his shop during this "fire season" |

so a bit of good news finally, the skies turned blue finally (think California fires) and I also sold a Turbo 4,000 transmission from another project for $425 which will go towards the $1 million dollar bench seat re covering
so today my 19 year old son (left his bedroom) and I piled the old bench seat in mamas Honda Pilot and off it went to Dan at Scott's Auto Trim in Auburn (you follow that, ha ha Dan bought the shop from Scott) where I dropped it off with Tim who will have Adrian work on it, ha ha super excited we are looking at black pleather on the back of the seat and black cloth for where the buttocks and our backs will go with gray stitching I think it will look *****in' this may be the first thing I build with my wallet and it feels great! |
Re: Restoring Rusty
Been through Auburn many times. My wife's family lived in Grass Valley, and we spent a lot of time there when we lived in the San Jose area and I worked a "3 on and 4 off" shift at Intel. Used to ride dirt bikes back in mining country with some guys from Nevada City. It was a great place, at least back in the 1970s.

My wife loved Foster's Freeze as a girl. Said there were quite a few of them in the East Bay area where she grew up in the 50s-60s. She also remembers an A&W in Auburn where you could get a root beer float in a real glass mug. I think switching to plastic was the beginning of A&W's death spiral. :(

Re: Restoring Rusty
I just wanted to say wow.
I sent the link of your build to my 17 year old son. He is getting an 86 k20 (dream car) for him. Your build has given him and myself some ideas, starting points. I'm glad he doesn't think that I am the only that is just OCD about certain things. |

so a quick unleaded bath later and the new replacement fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel rail was in and we was as good as new, all in the driveway mind you, take that HOA
Note the heat shield, yup that's how we do |
Re: Restoring Rusty
Nice! I remember the show car era were guys were putting that stuff everywhere. I think it does look cool in limited, purposeful quantities. Keeping Rusty tip-top, I like it.

alright guys, I figure I'll give you an update on the seat, can you believe I dropped it off 6 weeks ago today
so just want to say that when I drop something off at a shop I politely ask them when they think it will be done, than times that by two, carry the 1, and multiply by the circumference of the earth, ha ha no my point is I don't nag them, I don't call them, I wait well a few weeks ago Dale texted me and said they could not remove the rusty bolts to free the back rest from the bottom portion, I suggested he just drill them out well six weeks later and they still haven't gotten the seat apart and have not even started on it |
Re: Restoring Rusty
I,m doing the waiting game on getting my rearend done, I told him take your time. He is.
