Well done, sir!  Well done.
It was great to watch the progress.
Can't wait to follow the "keeper" resurrection.

Another beautiful restoration Alan! Kudos to you for stepping outside the chalk-mark brigade and doing such a nice job on a modified car. If I had the dinero, that's pretty much exactly how I'd want it to be. Sweet,sweet ride!  :twothumbsup:

Your work is beyond reproach, I wish I had half the talent you do at whipping these cars in to the works of art you create. If I win the lottery you can be expecting a call for his and hers e-bodies :)

I love the larger rallye wheels in aluminum. They look especially good on a black car.

Did the owner drive it any before storage and if so what was his impression. BTW, it's a work of art.

..and speaking of back seats...
Were adding Cipher custom front buckets, so I bought extra matching material directly from Cipher to have my upholstery guy, Scott Davis, sew up a nice complementing rear seat cover... He did a fantastic job matching the two different types of stitching etc....

Was it difficult to source the material to cover the seats? I'd like some reclining seats and these look great. I bet I could sell the '73 seats I have to make the transition fairly easily.

NOT at all @ledphoot they advertise extra material right on their website, for sale by the yard  :banana: https://cipherauto.com/collections/seat-materials

The front seats I used in this car cost LESS then most seat covers from Legendary  :alan2cents:

Thanks for the link!

Yeah I am aware of the cost of legendary covers.. I have a full set of seat covers and foams for my seats sitting in boxes. The seats I obtained are in pretty good driver quality so I figured I'd run them for a while.. Looking at these Cipher seats and the lovely recline capability got the wheels in my brain spinning. I can buy these seats, the mounting brackets and recover the rear seat and recoup all the money by selling off what I have pretty easily.

That's an AWESOME ride.  So glad the vinyl top got there in time!  Looks great!!
I always look forward to following your posts, watching your progress, and enjoying your enthusiastic commentary! 
Great work.

Thanks :drinkingbud:

I know a lot of people are pretty bored with the "show boating" of my projects that I do on here, but I appreciate the input both good and bad, and like to show that it doesn't have to take years to get a car finished... :drunk:

This particular one was a huge learning experience for me, but likely the last FULL start to finish thread I do on a build, unless I get something exciting to show off. :thinking:

Thanks to everybody who follows along  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Well if they're bored with the "show boating" they don't have to read your posts.  Personally, I enjoy watching your restorations.  Keep up the good work!
