Over the last two days I have been fabricating some fiber glass covers to go over the wheel well humps in the back of the interior. I laid up four layers of glass and resin and allowed them to cure, then trimmed them up as you see here.

I then glued urethane foam on them to prepare for upholstering them.

Over all I am pleased with the results. I will attach them with Velcro when they are covered.

I received a call from my powder coater that my parts were done so I beat feet down to get them. The first picture is the bare seat frame In gloss black with the new rubber webbing and seat blocks installed.

                                                                                                    

Next is the new foam seat buns temporarily installed on the frames.

And finally, the convertible top frame in chrome silver installed with new rubber end blocks, new pivot bolts in stainless steel and new rivets in the latches.

 Making progress but covered her up while making some more parts money.

Okay, after several hours (and several breaks) the hand sewn leather steering wheel cover is done. This job involved cutting down the width of the leather band due to the little skinny diameter of the wheel rim, regluing the hemmed edge and punching new holes for the lacing thread. Makes for sore fingertips but, DONE!

I finally found a supplier of the correct size defroster hose so I also installed all four pieces needed. I only took pictures of the under dash hoses so use your imagination for the other two under the hood.

After hearing from Germany that they finally agree the handles are wrong for a left hand drive car, I re installed the handles, installed all the weatherstripping, the window trims with the fuzzies and all four end caps. I also started the installation of a hand sewn-on steering wheel cover. More on that later.
