Bought a used pair of TTI long headers. They fit nice. Dad had another pan laying around & took to a friend & he extended the sump.

Where did you get the seat covers and carpet?

I've seen the '63 covers but they have a piping in the colored area. I haven't made up my mind on carpet yet. And headliner, it has the board and it looks like I'm going to have to go with bows.

Carpet & headliner came from CLASSIC IND. The headliner was a kit w/ bows. The seats were custom made to as close to the originals as possible.

Radiator, exhaust, belts, hoses, wheels & tires & he has the trany being looked at. Other than the wheels & tires everything is on the way. It wont be long.

No

They are warped and the material is dry rotted.

They're in good shape, sorry but not for sale. I haven't given up on new board but the last ones I saw were over $500!

I'll have to check him out. Thanks

I could try to find the right board and use the ones I have for a template. Then try to find the right material. Looks like corduroy.

 

[1962polara]

Oh I didn't know that

I too have templates of the originals.
Yes I saw the $520 on eBay too but I see they are R.E.M. Automotive inc Brand.
Maybe they are cheaper?

Having to do the front seats and carpet $500 for a headliner is way too much for my budget. I'm not there yet but I'm always keeping my eyes and ears open. I think SMS had the hard board also.
