The Wife's Part in this... seats











Aside from helping with the financial pit to support such a build, my wife was nominated by yours truly to get the seats back to looking good. I purchased the original tan seats from eBay a couple years ago. They sat in my parents basement forever until last month. She pulled out the 40 year old hog rings and stripped the original seat covers made right here in Michigan off. On the back of the original seat covers it read May 1969, MI.
The new seat covers came from Dante's Mopar parts store online. The seats are actually made from Legendary Auto, which are Mopar supported and exact reproductions. Everything down to the buttons are real, not sewn on like some I have seen. These new covers fought hard and had to be stretched with a lot of effort. It was tough in some spots, but man did momma do a good job. Now she can ride in the car for her duties!!!
