I dropped off the driver's seat on Monday to see if he can repair the original seat cover. Also received a parts delivery last night and picked up a new temperature sender to test.

The car has some serious paint contamination - which is odd as one of the things the seller just had done was a "paint correction". The paint feels like 1,500 grit sandpaper. I experimented with how to best get the contamination off the paint surface and forgot I had this surface prep mitt. It works great - I did the driver front fender and half of the hood and am very happy with the results. Now to finish the rest of the car and then polish and wax it. Hoping to have another productive Sunday work day this weekend.

It's amazing what some old school interior guys can pull off. You are lucky, there are a couple of them down your way
