Was busy today punching holes in the rear seat back. Punched over 200 1 5/16 dia. holes Trying to keep everything as light as possible without compromising strength. Will try to do the seat bottom tomorrow. The back seat bottom will hinge forward so as to access rear bilge area. The seat back "keyholes" in on some pins. Ordered upholstery material yesterday. Blue.

Front seat frame is fabricated all but the aluminum sheets for the upholstery to go onto. I will weld them into place and then clean up the weldment. Used 1 X 1 X 1/8 wall aluminum tubing. Hope to have rear seat frame done Friday and then deliver to upholstery guy Saturday. MUCH lighter than the original. Opted for a full front seat instead of 3/4 because it will fit our needs better. More pics to come. Duane

I have finally finished up the stringer and floor replacement job in my '78 Mustang. Not ready to do another one of these for a while. Will be building seat frames next. Re-gel top and bottom and then it will be on to updating and freshening the engine. Last pic is of the other "Mustang" I work on a 1979.
