Moving ahead, the body is almost all down to 320 so I'm almost ready to shoot the Papyrus White sealer coat. Meanwhile, I fitted the seats.
This required me to install the dash. I had to cut the tracks (too high) along with the backrest since the seats are way too high and protrude above the body. I cut and spliced the frame down so as you can see now, they only are slightly higher than the body including some compensation for the folding top and cover.
Upholstery Shop will also cut the foam on the seat base down too. I can easily fit a 6' 5" person in the driver's seat. Plenty of headroom too!
Cheers,
Dave
