Soundline Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Im assuming you don’t want my commentary. It’s pretty clear what I’m doing, and how. So new panels in, I applied a coat of POR15. I’m going to do a second coat then, I’ll do a top coat for uv protection and hardening. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 While this all dries my upholstery shop five starts of flaked on me, so, here we go... 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Im doing the top first, then the bottom of the seat. These are all reference pictures for reassembly. I have location and distance markers as well. I’m going to keep the original cover as a pattern because my first one of these won’t be the best. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Fair warning, I’m making design choices you won’t like. But.... meh. Second, special thanks to Hobo and Gato for all of their tech support. I would have sold this by now if it weren’t for them. 2 Quote Link to comment

Soundline Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I ordered this too so we’ll see what I think after it’s done. RaceTEP L20B header How the gasket looks on it Welds on the collector Close up of the port for the number 1 piston. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Since I can’t see these older pics, I’ll assume you can’t. This is basically what the exterior looks like. There really haven’t been any changes except the tail likghts and I removed that 80’s State Farm sticker. 2 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Yeah I'm mostly here for moral support. Guessing most of those pictures hit my phone before this posting. Cant load much of nothing right now 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted May 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Yep, I’m just now getting around to catching this up. Here’s the latest progress. I’d commented like.. a year ago that I was going to reupholster the factory bench seat. So I bought some cheap canvas and foam to give it a shot. This is the back rest. I’ll try to get the seat done this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Ahhh where were we? Oh yeah, no one is reading this anyhow, but this is what happened next. I pulled the lower part of the seat off and cut the stitches in the cover to make a pattern. On the corners I drew lines where they connected and numbered each piece. I thought I took pictures of this process but my “friend” Jameson was “helping” so my memory isn’t the best. Lol I finished the lower portion in the same fashion with lots of cursing because I really don’t know how to use a sewing machine... With this stripped down I decided to inspect it and paint it. It was cracked here so I welded it. I’m ALMOST as bad at welding as I am at sewing because I decided to “teach” myself both of these skills on this project. I have about 20 min of time using it. So... it sucks... but it should hold. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 While that was drying I put this in. It’s weird how it absorbed sound inside the cab. I’m not even trying to be funny here, it literally dropped the noise inside the cab as I put it in. I might come back later and do the whole cab just to see. But I’ll play around with that later. Test fitting my carpet my fucking heat gun died so I had to go get a new one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Because I’m me, I came home and shifted gears to see how well my cover fit. I hog ringed everything back together which is a boring process, I put down a layer of jute, 4” pad on the bottom, that sewn in batting, then the cover on the bottom, then a 1” pad on the back with the jute next to the springs. I steamed it to get all my chalk off and I’ll liberally apply scotch gard in the morning. I’ll admit the lines aren’t perfect and there’s a couple corners that aren’t great but, it’s much better than what I had. 2 Quote Link to comment
