    from bench to buckets

    https://www.classicindustries.com/product/ma537501.html They claim "heat stamped, prefromed and trimmed to fit your floor pan", which I did not find it to be formed at all. Carpet was flat, no shape to it at all (which has made it difficult to get it to lay flat around the center hump) and...

    from bench to buckets

    Recaro seats were actually my first choice (I miss my 3-series bmw), but the cost was about twice as much plus as you said the work of custom brackets would be required. I do wish I spent just a bit more money and got seats with the bolsters

    from bench to buckets

    Used procar seats and brackets from summit. While I had the seats out I decided to clean up the metal and lay down some kilmat and put in new carpet. The killmat took more time than adding the seats. I didn't take pics of the metal plates that were used to reinforce the bolt holes but they're...

    Little 70's Animation

    Pretty cool, I can dig it! My two nitpicks would be add some actual lights to the cop cars and use a few more polygons on the cars. Even a few extra polys would make the curves (wheel arches and whatnot) look a lot better. But overall good job. What software do you use? Everyone seems to be a...

    Overheating issues

    Just an update in case anyone was curious. A few months back I had discount tire flush the whole system out since after several weeks my usual shop didn't seem too concerned with returning my calls. I haven't overheated since. There is still an overflow issue I believe, as the engine does heat...

    [WANTED] 3spd auto center console for '73 duster

    I have no mounting hardware for it, had bench seat before I've swapped out for buckets so my car never had the console.

    fit aftermarket shifter into stock console?

    Until I acquire a console, I can't do any measuring to see how it'd fit. Hearing someone has done it before is good news.

    fit aftermarket shifter into stock console?

    My car originally has the bench seat, I'm in the process of putting in buckets (floor will be reinforced for it). What I'd like to do is put in a factory looking center console and find a way to fit in my b&m shifter so it looks at least somewhat like it came factory. I was initially planning to...

    Overheating issues

    Still running just the cleaner and water, the car does seem to be doing a lot better. I'm using Thermocure cooling system rust remover. I think airflow might still be an issue however, as the temp climbs while idling in traffic. But cruising around at 45-90 the temp has stayed under 200. I...

    Overheating issues

    It was about 90 degrees yesterday and I drove it a bit around town. It did start to overheat, but the system is filled with the cleaner and mostly water.
