and these are the wheels

so now i am working on my interior. I am starting on the rear seats and found that the hooks are missing from the rear like this
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps6a828984.jpg

so here is the prototype

even the bottom anchors where missing on my chevelle so i found a set on ebay and got them in. i know its ugly but they are solid and will not move (i hit them a few times with a 3lbs hammer should be good)

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...pse319b6d9.jpg
top of the seat is in with the mounts and screwed in so happy
bottom is in as well

Those seat belts look good ,do you like them .I look forward to seeing mine installed in my truck soon I hope .

really good the installed needed 2 holes to be drilled but worth it in the long run for sure!!

Just talked to my guy at the bodyshop and he just got mine installed in my truck along with the seat ,he said it looks good and that I need to come see it .I cant wait to go back up there .

Nice I want to see pictures

Im going to try to go up there later today ,give me your e mail and I can send you some pics ,I still cant post pics yet.

best thing for you to do is open a photobucket account put your pictures on there and share the links from there. My email address is [email protected]

I have a internet problem at home that wont let me load pics and my provider could care less .

Shaun, Im going to try to send you some pics .

I dont think it worked .

lol nope it didn't work...lol

well this is how far i got today and i am pretty happy with the chance to get to this point at least!!
http://chevelleforum.org/attachment....1&d=1389326568

tomorrow i am going to finish installing my front seatbelts and front seat belts i hope :)

That's nothing, took me almost 7 years from the time I got the car until I got to drive it.

yeah but you did a much better resto then i did! i am fearing the day that i take it to the body shop that is going to be like a 4-6k job!

Lookiing good. I was checking out your gauges and it looks like they are right under the steering wheel. Maybe it is just the angle of the picture that makes it look that way.

I have not had the chance to do much to my chevelle. I took some time this weekend to work on it. I installed the Shoulder Cowl on the passenger side. My welds are not that pretty but its going to be covered with seam sealer primer paint and the fender..lol so i think i will be ok..lol

I thought I had a picture of it before but basically I had no shoulder cowl it was hacked off and not done very well. So I had to wait almost 2 months for these things to show up but they are finally here.
http://chevelleforum.org/attachment....1&d=1396574707

and here is what how i started
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps924a10fc.jpg

then pulled out the spot welder
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps56c01442.jpg

then I filled in the gap from the cover to the front plate
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps5f2471bb.jpg

and finally held together with no issues just ugly..lol
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps5bea1ecd.jpg

i hope this week i can do the driver side and then do some grinding and seam sealer and paint it!

That's a big job Shaun, nice work.

yea it was a big job! and i still have one more side to do..lol

Looks good. I'll be doing the same thing in a few months, now I can see what I'm in for.

not pictured because its boring..lol I took the driver side door off because the bushing in the hinge was shot. So i rebuilt them and while i had the door off i sprayed some guide coat on it and sanded it down to make sure its nice and smooth. then i sanded the door jams nice and smooth and since i was at it i said might as well do the quarter panels as well. So as of right now the whole driver side is ready to primer :) now off to do the trunk area then the other side :)
