New Seats

Got me some new seats from a junk yard for $50! Will be alot better then red and they have arm rests! YAY! Best of all, I measured the pedestal today and they will bolt right in!

Finsihed the Brakes

After 2 weeks waiting for parts and getting wrong parts and shipping the wrong parts back and waiting for correct parts I finally got the brakes done! I got some new center cap and black acorn lug nuts too! looks awesome now!

Rear Brakes

So I started on the rear brakes the other day and learned a few things. I needed new wheel seals, I forgot to order the self adjuster kit and I ordered the wrong wheel cylinders. Called Rock Auto and they won't let me return the wheel cylinders cause I painted them. They did let me return the self adjuster kits though. I sent those out today. As soon as I get my store credit I will be ordering the new self adjuster kits and wheel cylinders and finally be able to finish the brake job! I already cleaned up a bunch of stuff and painted it plus I changed the wheel seals.

Scooped Hood

Picked up my new to me hood today! I got it from a vanner in Indiana. Another vanner picked it up for me on the way to the van nats then he gave it to yet another vanner to bring back to Wisconsin. Still kind of a ways away but closer than indiana! It took me 6 hours and 300 miles to get it and come back home.
Alot of work to do to it though! Looks like I will have to carefully sand down all the bondo and smooth the scoops in again as it is all cracking and could of been done better to start with. After sanding off all the filler I will remove the screws and reattach with rivets and try to smooth it in a lil better by hopefully insetting the scoops so it will be more even with the metal part. I also have to remove some brackets and hinges, the previous owner made it a side open and although it is unique I will just use the stack hinge locations. Here's some pics of the rest of the hood!
