Thank you..not perfect but they look presentable. The old seats were faded a lot more than I realized when comparing the two.

These are the crusty old headrests..I have two sets of these and they are all in the same condition. Does anyone have a source for good repro headrests? I have extra vinyl and could cover them but that wouldn't look right.

Well front seat tops are done....now these get put away for a while while I do some other work on the car. Won't be doing too much on it for a couple weeks as my Ram requires some love.

Looking good What are your plans for the project?

I wasn't able to spend a lot of time working on the car on the weekend. I did manage to get the front seat torn down and get the front seat bottom and armrest done. Tearing down this stuff makes one really realize that these weren't perfect from the factory. Next is the front seat backs which...

88% but I am a truck guy so should have done better.

Awesome! Love that color!

Tearing down the front seat I found the third build sheet not much left of it. The others were located under the front seat and in the springs of the rear seat back. Luckily the build sheet in the back seat was near perfect condition.

Here is the car circa summer '74..just before it was parked...one of only 3 pictures I have of the car from the good ol' days.

Amazingly the dealer took pictures of every car they sold with the buyer standing beside it. In around 1998, I tracked down the salesman (he...

Ok so this may seem a little *** backwards but I started with recovering the seats. A few reasons, mainly because I had bought the covers 6 yrs ago and I couldn't stand to just store them in a cardboard box. Also It allows me to store the recovered seats in the house out of the way while I work...

One of my favourites that someone told me "my Fury has a 440 too but the cam was changed so now it's a hemi"

Like others have said it's your car.. But in my opinion I think it is one cool machine as it is..could always put some rally rims or something to change it up.

Nice car and great story! My uncle had a twin to that car. I have always liked that body style.

Thank you for the kind words. I think the color combo probably wasnt too popular back in the day. My dad said that it sat at the dealer a long time before he bought it. He was actually dealing on a used yellow 340 4spd '69 Dart Swinger and the dealer wouldn't take his trade in for it unless he...
