Where did you get the leather seat covers from? Can you post some pics?

Great build thread!

Hi, It's been a while since I worked on the car. Since the last post I have not done too much. I took apart the front sport seats and then rebuilt the foam that was torn and sagging. To finish them I bought some leather seat covers and installed them. Today I finished the headliner and installed the windshield. To get the aluminum trim in place I found it was best to use some pinch clamps I use for woodworking. I didn't see a need to use any soapy libricant to get the windshield to seat right. I used two wraps of ventian blind cord in the gasket groove, placed the windshield centered in the opening and it seated in the window frame. Then waited for my son to come home before I pulled the cord out. I had him lean on the windshield in the areas, from the outside, while I was pulling out the cord. It took about 15 minutes to get gasket seated on the windshiel, 30 minutes to install the outer trim in the groove, 30 minutes to center the windshield in the car, and 10 minutes to pull the cord out. I included some pictures below.
