Ya'll know about this but do you know about that?

As many of you know, Oscar's rebuild is coming along great. Also, many of you know that I installed new seats about a month ago.

These...



These seats are GREAT!

However, I wanted the back seats to match so while I have Oscar apart, these are going in him when it's done.







So, whatcha think?

Would you look at that over there.. (sneaking those seats under my coat)...

Those look fantastic, but I know deep down inside, they would look much better in my car!!!

Post more pics when you get them in the car.

Thanks Crash but hell no, I didn't sew them up...lol. I couldn't darn a pair of socks. let alone leather seats...

I had an upholstery shop we use make the seats and an embroidery shop make the embroidery for the rear seats to match the front.

I wish I could do something so talented.

Nothing??

I'm not sure I understand your question. The new seats come with airbags and heat seaters, is that what you wanted to know?

OK, I'm old, but I now get up every morning and turn on the Oscar rebuild thread like I used to turn on cartoons.

I'm going to go through withdrawal when the rebuild is complete.

Oh, yeah, I meant to say that the seats looks great.

"Oscar the Great (Pumpkin)" will be done just in time for Halloween.

I love it.

Not bad... they were 3700 including shipping and currency exchange for the pair.
