Seat frames going in my COW-LOOK car. Rewelded stock weld joint after I blasted and wire wheel'd frames. Made some stainless trim peices for the back of rear seat. And peices I made/formed to attach plywood.

Thanks, Its not perfect , But I did learn a bunch ! It was kinda a ginnie pig for doing my white car. The Cow-Look car. Main thing I learned on rear window section, I started from top down, Next time I will start at bottom and stretch corners in first then work up. But again thanks!!

I really like how tight the fabric is around ALL of the window seams and sheet metal that forms around the door openings. NICE....... Cool

Danny...... I was checking out the bulkhead panel you did for me the other day and I am still AMAZED every time I look at it!!!! ¨

I just I hope I can be that good one day  Wink

While I'm here - Any ideas for making the rear decklid work on a "pull cord" like the Hood  Huh I have always wanted a matching pull cord for the decklid on the passenger side, One it would be a sensible idea and Two it would look cool in the interior - Any Thoughts  Huh Smiley
