New seats for the CHP

[Wolfe1013]

Well, this goes against the purist in me and possibly some of you, but I had the chance to get a pair of front seats from my next door neighbor since he was switching to leather seats for his Mustang. My '82 CHP now has a pair of black cloth "articulated sport seats" from his '91 Mustang GT. I have wanted these seats (and the whole car) since 1987, so now I have the seats...just in my '82. I don't think it's too far-fetched since they have the low headrest and my seats originally had the actual seating surface in black cloth. I joked with my neighbor that I was going to dye the vinyl French Vanilla on these seats to match the originals.

Let me know what you think. It's only temporary - until I can save the funds to get my originals recovered. From the research I've done, this pair was a fraction of what it will cost me to recover front and back seats. Since I couldn't use the back seat out of the '91 GT without modifying my car - not even the bench seat would work - it looks like I will start with recovering that one first.

I'm off for 4 days now and am going to do some exploring in just a little while. I want to see what the dash pad looks like under that black vinyl and same with the doors and steering wheel. Oh, I still haven't found the build sheet. It wasn't under the rear of the carpet. Odd that I found the primer is brown. Is that the case in all of them? This came from Ford as a black car according to their records. But Ford did paint the white, correct? It's on the buck tags.
