No Foolin’, a Real Update
Despite being a day of tomfoolery, I have some real news to share.
Several things have happened since the last update.
-
I’ve had the seats re-upholstered. When I got the car 21 years ago this month, the family member that owned the car hadn’t driven it for many years. But, he was a very large man and the seats had long since given up trying to provide support. So, in addition to the seat fabric, I purchased new interior foam as well as the supporting rubber baffle that provides some “spring” underneath. I got the seats back a few weeks ago and installed the driver seat back in the car, so that the body shop weren’t moving it around without a seat.

The car has been taped and had the hood and trunk removed. These will get painted separately.
-
The car is in the paint stall as of yesterday (March 31) and getting the second primer coat. After drying a day or two, it will get the first paint coat. I’ll save those results for the next post.
With a bit of luck, I might have the car back in 2 weeks. We’ll have to rush to get her road-worthy by the time of my daughters’ Senior Prom if she plans to drive the car.
