thank you all for offering advice on how to DIY this but I refuse to do it myself, ha ha, too old and grumpy and I want this done right, I did a seat or two in the past and it's just not my cup of tea (hope you all understand and won't hold it against me in the Court of Trucks)

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.

Comparing SF county to LA county is apples to oranges...

LA county is huge. I've driven all over that county for work in the 1990s. It's easily twice the land area of Rhode Island or Delaware and then some. At 10x plus more population it's far more densely populated than either of those Eastern seaboard states... LA county has almost the population of the state of Ohio packed into a land area around twice the size of RI.

The SF Bay Area is Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, and Solano Counties.
Of those SF Bay Area counties San Francisco is tiny tiny tiny... literally almost just a tiny little bit bigger than the city of San Francisco. Considering that fact... the infection rate for that tiny high population density area is insane.

How very kind of you my Lord, thank you

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"

I suggest you start a new thread called "Playing with Busty." That should get lots of traffic, plus this old thread is getting kinda 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.

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.
