It's a thing of beauty for sure. No blazers around here that color. You have 2" wheel spacers on too right?

Thanks.

No, I donīt have wheel spacers.
The offset of the wheels is pretty small.

Now I wait for some foam to optimize my new seats.
I want to increase the flanks of the seats for a better support in curves.

I put pillows in my seats under the springs. I got the idea when a company I worked for had it done to all there Dodge 1500 trucks. All plow trucks so you could see right down at the blade.

Good idea if your not a tall person anyways.

I used the last days to renew my seats.

First I cut a pattern and marked the parts on the foam sheet.



Then I stuck the partd with special foam glue on the backrest, mounted it on the frame of the seat.



At last, I stuck the parts for seat surface on it and mounted the foam on the frame of the seat.



The cutting surfaces, doesnīt look goo, but when the cover is on the seat, you donīt see the cuts or feel them, but the parts gives really a better support.

Here is still a picture, when my headlights works.

Done some little works today.

I get a good conditioned black grille.
So, I disassembled it, removed the side markers and the bowtie emblem and painted it in neon-orange.



And last weekend I made some new pictures.
