Thanks NZ.  The shifter is from HARMS automotive.    Flamed Maple Pistol Grip !  And  heavy duty polished stainless steel -- oh yeah!
Here are 4 photo's I took of it up close.
Awesome, I got mine around June last year. I got the Oak with Satin finish.  :)

How hard is it to "push & ingage" the shifter? Does it take a decent shift to get into gear?  :dontknow:


Thanks Redline.  :beer:

Redline,  Those seats look great!!!!!!! ;D  You guys do some great work.  Was the rear seat as hard to do?  My buckets have been done at some point before I bought the car, but the rear seat needs replaced...have the cover and was thinking of trying it myself...

Thanks for the encouragement (and the get well cards  :coffee:  :coffee: )   
MOPAR3340  -- YES!  you should go ahead  and do it.  the backs are not hard to do.  Bigger surface area, more stretch...  plus they are vinyl not leather - easier.
The pics below show some steps.

PG- we plan to put  a step by step section on our website -- I'll give you the URL when were done.
WSM -  Thanks- finger splint keeps getting caught in the tight spaces...have to stop and think..its like that old game "operation"
74chall  -  Thanks--  yes, Im sure most guys would agree that working together on Mopars with a freind is fun-  But working together with your "girfriend" -- thats the best!  the garage is nice-  but last night at 22 degrees, took a while to heat up. 
Thanks Street.   Carlisle here we come!

You are too funny 4C!  I'm still his girlfried, he still asks me out on dates, still sends me cards and everything.  Keeps us young.  It must be working, we've been married 20 years.  :beer:  Having a hobby we both love is just another added bonus!

Rusty, after all the hard stuff you've already done...this will be a piece of cake for you!  Do it in the winter when you can't work on the body.
