Purdy! :lol:
I also lined my new tray with a rubber matt Jerry, (think someone also makes an "anti rust/acid neutralizing" matt as we all know that fender is like a kid in a candy store attracting the battery acid!

I took a Dennis Carpenter DS tray and made one for my PS tray, (but never got the dual battery isolator installed). :thup:

:hw: :hw: So after all the time it took to fabricate my seat brackets, after all the years of having these seats and fitting them to my truck :doh: through them out.... can't re upholster these seat because, they hot glue and form the fabric to the foam :cuss: :cuss: :hmm: Take a big DEEP breath and start making phone calls :D
new seats.jpg
So I've still got my work cut out for me....need to get the brackets made and the drivers side needs the lever & mechanism to slide the seat. On a good note. The seat guy can get kit's for these seats :woohoo:

I was able to get to my buddy's house and get some blasting done... both valences and the Hood 8) With the weather (78 yesterday)the way it's been..I got the bottom of the hood primed and the top skim coated

That just sucks about the seats. Replacing the foam is not a bad idea anyways. There is always some kind of roadblock in repairing things that will cost extra funds :cuss:

So it's been a slow( :woohoo: )week with work which, turns into paperwork catch up & internet surfing & parts shopping :D I found the Seat tracks for my mustang seat at Mac's and the New trim kit for them at Cj Pony parts, seats have been dropped off to "Seat Guy" to be redone. Made a trip to the local paint and body store for some supply's and this happened

It's Bed liner in a can.... looks better in person than pic but, not as "gritty" as I wanted :hmm:

Nice work on the Valance Brackets. I really like the look on that liner on the inside of the hood, what brand is it?
