What did it cost to have them recovered ? They look beautiful  :drooling:

I could have just done the buckets for around $850 but we decided to use a better, but not factory correct material so we redid the rear to match for a total of $1245.

I personally don't really like  the design of those seats (too bulky), but nice work! I bet they are really confortable!

I have different seats, but similar.  I think you will really like the improvement.  It's nice having the seat hold you in place rather than sliding around when you corner.

I went with the SRT seats for two reasons - wanted something more comfortable and better for my junk back and also better for keeping me in the seat since I`m upgrading the cornering abilities of the car.

I really like them and your upholstery guy did a fantastic job at a great price...up here that would be $3000-$4000 easily :bigthumb:

Oh the fun of aligning front end sheet metal on a '70's vehicle! Maybe it'll look better after a couple more cold ones?

4 speed is finally done and Bilsteins are in (were on back order for 4 weeks), hopefully I`ll be dropping the body over the engine/trans, K-frame this weekend.   :banana:

First time doing it from below, ain't never dropping it from the top again! Went pretty smooth but learned a couple things so next time will be even easier.

Ok, minor complaint but for the money they cost I'd expect the Bilstiens to come with bushings that fit the hole. Left is correct, right came with the Bilstiens.

It wouldn`t let me post the video here but it`s up and running again!!!  :woohoo:   Just need to do some final tuning and bring it down to get an alignment.
