I got the seat/s sorted I think. I made the Delrin spacers and the first ones were 1/2" thick which proved too be too thick. I then made some 1/4" thick ones and they worked awesome. I am now very convinced that the spacers/discs used by the factory were to make the seats easier to adjust rather...

@64fury74charger I am very sure I could make something but again it would be difficult (but possible) without the car. I can tell you this, I measured my seat tracks and you need a 2" riser on the inside (next to the trans tunnel) and a 1" riser on the outside. From hole to hole (front to back)...

well, it’s not really complicated, but it does take some measuring and making quality spacers. If you were closer, I’d tell you to bring it down and we could get it sorted out.

Are you using stock seats or aftermarket seats?

Ah ok so you are trying to use some aftermarket tracks? I have been down this road couple of times and the only way I have ever got them to work is to mock the seats up in the car without the carpet in which means using wood or even some metal to get the seats to the height you want and level...

@64fury74charger Are you using stock style tracks?

I am working on the seats and have discovered a thing or 2... First is that while my hole placement was "in the ball park" they were not generous enough to not put pressure onto the tracks. Next is that the out board track (the one with the handle on it) was being bent or flexed when the...

Here is a pic of the drivers side seat and the plate circled in red is supposed to lay flat on the floor (unless there were spacers added). Anyway, this plate on this new after market track is very thin, I am thinking like 18g. When I removed the seat this plate was bent up by I believe the...

Finished making the hood look pretty, now I have to focus on trying to get the air grabber to function (might be a long pole). I did remove the left seat and discovered that I did NOT use the wrong holes, however I do believe that the holes i used are not correct. They are not far off but far...

@Wookie316 I am always happy to help/share especially if anything I do/say helps someone else in their efforts.

also, for those following along when I did the cat whiskers for the door panels, I had used some small sheet metal screws to attach them to the door panels. well that does not work as the windows when you roll them up we’ll just peel the cat whisker off, they really need the staples which I...

I believe I have figured out why the seats are not moving. Before I had the carpet in and Before I had the carpet in I tested both seats and they worked fine however, there were multiple holes in the floor as this was originally a bench seat car and I’m sure somebody put some bucket seats of...

The list I have shows 49.50", but I would STRONGLY recommend actually measuring the car if possible.

The way I do it is; headliner is first, then package tray, then sail panels and opera windows, then inner quarter panels. I just finished my 71 like 3 days ago. Some tips; Put screws into the holes for the rear view mirror, sun visors, upper seat belt retainers and dome light. It will make...

I've been thinking about it and I don't think I am going to sand on the blackout, rather I am going to let it age naturally (at least for a while). I will see what I think once the car is completely assembled.

That's what I am thinking. I am going to loosen the nuts and see if that makes a difference. If not then I have to pull the seats completely and see what is going on

I also have to add my engine call outs onto the sides of the power bulge.

I got the hood painted up with the black out and SB decal. Once I let this cure for awhile my intention is to lightly sand it and fade it into the rest of the hood but we will see.

I have made some progress in that I got the interior in. I still need to do the sill plates BUT the seats have to come back out because they will not adjust in either direction. They brand new seat tracks so I am thinking that perhaps the seats are making too much contact with the carpet OR I...

Perhaps I need to start a build thread with my Buick straight 8 in a 69 Charger General Lee.... Stupid thread...
