I picked up the front seats and they came out great. The color match ended up being better than I really thought at first, and after a lot of consultation and photo review, I think these are fine. My seamstress does fantastic work, and I provided her with an NOS front seat upper cover that she deconstructed (sorry anyone with a blue interior!) to make a template from, which resulted in a great finished product. She replicated the two diameters of cording used, and even foudn blue cloth for the edging (along the bottom) which replicates what my car had. The uppers were heat pressed by SMS and are spot on. Wrinkles will go away once the seats see some heat and sun (neither of which are available in Indiana at this time!)
She even recreated the flap that is behind the recliner assembly cover, and they reinforced area on the back by the recline mechanism. I also installed my control arm bushings last week. The lower control arms are NOS and the uppers are the originals. Frank Romano riveted the upper and lower ball joints in for me, so one more thing off the list! I'm wrapping up the rear end now. |

Ian, those seats look fantastic! Quality work as always. Can't wait to see her when she's finally done. Also, I need to figure out a time to get over to see you about some Spirit parts. I figure now is as good a time as ever to get some work done on it while it's in storage.

The seats look fantastic! I'm hoping I can find someone that does upholstery that well.

unfortunately no. I've been so busy with my daughter and Javelin this past year that i didn't get any work done on the Hornet. I'm planning to move in the spring, so maybe after that I can get back on this car. I would really like to get her done!
