new "fuzzies" from vintage rubber. question: should the rubber overlap the window frame as shown in the second picture?

a couple more things off my list. i bet i spent the better part of 6 hours sandblasting the grill, lots of little nooks and crannies. i believe this is the only body part on the whole car i didnt have to repair! just sandblast and paint

finally got the seat foam and covers done. the foam came from msa, and the covers from interior innovations. i spent maybe 3 hours on the seats. Hardways thread here

 was a big help. instead of plastic, i used baby powder on the foam. the covers went on easily. i also took the seat hinges apart and powder-coated them and the screws. just waiting on carpet, wheels and door panels now

Yes the grill is quite intricate but it looks good when finished. Nice job SWEATS. You will have to post a video of the engine growling soon!
