The preparation for arrival continues...

Classic industries had a set of the front seats but no rear seat set in stock. Everyone in Mopar land I spoke to said not to mix and match vendors because the dye lots Legendary uses have slight differences and there's a 95% chance the seats won't match.

So I ordered the matching front and rear seat sets directly from Legendary. They had a 20% off coupon expiring today...delivery date around Thanksgiving. UGH!

The rest of the white interior stuff (door panels, rear panels, visors, headliner, etc.) I am getting from Roseville Chrysler. They had it all in stock or arriving within the week. The headliners are made to order from their other supplier since Legendary had a 6 week minimum wait on theirs, and I need to get the headliner in first before anything else can be done on the car - like front and rear glass, interior moldings...

That’s going to POP with the white interior. Nice change!

Undercoating gets sprayed today (work interrupted me with a Kansas City overnight over the weekend, but at least I got some good BBQ!) then the bumpers painted and installed this week!

Then it’s onto the final polish and buff to catch the spots I missed or new ones I made with the reassembly

Cheers
Dave

Undercoating day! If one is curious about what happens to undercoating when sprayed in a climate that mimics the atmosphere of Mercury, look know further than North-Central Texas and spray away! No, you're not getting hit by BBs. That's the spray solidifying in mid air then hitting the car and bouncing back into you! Best part? The concrete is so hot that it turns back from a solid state into a liquid on the frying-pan style floor so it becomes a gooey mess on everything but where it needs to be stuck to. I know.... and you wonder why I'm getting out of the hobby!

But it finally all came out like it was supposed to. We decided sloppy... but not too sloppy. The inner splash shields for the rear upper control arm adjusters are missing, so a paper towel on one side protects the engine from overspray. The other side will need replacing but it'll do for this.

So with this done, the car is packed up and ready to go. Bumpers get painted tomorrow in the morning when it's cooler and will be mounted up Friday!

Hopefully they'll be no issues and then a couple mor passes with the buffer!

Back on its feet too!

Cheers
Dave
