New seats for the CHP

[Wolfe1013]

Thanks, Michael!! I've been sitting here going through your album again and just ran across those photos. That helps a lot.

Also, in this photo - http://public.fotki.com/Classicchp/c...05c.html#media - if it's the right one, you see the rubber "mat" in the forward trunk area. Under that is brown paint in my car and like yours, black from there back to the taillights. That's what the mat remnant I found in my trunk came from. Mine is all but gone and there was no insulator pad under the seat like in your photo album.

There were remnants of insulator pad on the c-pillars behind the sail panels, but nothing more. Can anyone tell me what that was? Same as the roof?

Greg-
Mine has the same brown color on the floorboards. It is cracked and flaking in some areas. Pretty thick stuff. Also, you asked about my doors. They are black however the white paint carries over to the inside just above where the door skin is wrapped around the door. The tape lines from this are fairly crude. I will get you some pics when I have a chance.

Nice seats but we have to find you some french vanilla stuff quick!

I do accept donations if anyone has any french vanilla seats they don't need!!

Wish I could afford your seats. I liked your idea - pay enough for the seats and the car is thrown in free. heh heh heh

I have other priorities that need to come first after today's ventures - weatherstripping for the doors, trunk and hood-to-firewall; body plug kit and interior screw/hardware kit.

Weather forecast for today - rain & thunderstorms followed by a cold wind and possible snow flurries. Today will be an inside day, so glad I brought the sail panels, dash pad and headliner inside. I plan to do some cleaning on them.

I did get some Reflectix yesterday. Michael, did you just use 3M Spray Adhesive to attach it to the roof panel?

I spoke with a body shop about repainting just the white for starters and explained to him what I found at the antenna hole in the roof. I said I wanted the plastic filler removed and the hood smoothed out by Dents Away or some place like that. His opinion was that most likely I will need a new roof panel. WHAT?!?! Not what I expected or wanted to hear. Anyone else have experience with removing a dent from the roof?

My center antenna hole in the roof was pushed in. The bodyshop pushed it back up from inside the car, and then smoothed it out with a skim coat of filler. I used spray adhesive on the roof insulation.

That's what I was hoping for, Bill. Right now, I can't even get a rubber plug in the hole OR an NMO mount antenna because its just thick enough to interfere.

Of course, to get an accurate estimate from any shop, I know you have to have the car there for them to see and I was driving the Bullitt when I stopped by yesterday. Hopefully, mine can be saved.

Any situation like that can be fixed if you throw enough money at the problem.
