Get those seats out of the car and stored safely. Nothing good can happen with them in the car. My memory is telling me they don't need covers? If so, remove them, clean them, dress them and then wrap them in some old sheets and put them out of harm's way. If the steering wheel is original and nice, do the same.

I can't grind for 6 hours anyways, many 4 hour visits would be perfect.

The front seat covers need replaced a little down the road but not as part of this project. (I have them in the budget but will likely replace them later). The back seat looks good as far as I can tell.

I am only cleaning the underside of the car and the firewall, I have been blocking off holes in the car as I go.

Am I missing something?

Why take out the seats and the steering wheel?

'

If seats are staying put, best cover them w/ drop sheets or something to protect from dirt/filings/sparks...it will get inside no matter how hard you try to stop it happening.
And best use fireproof protection where req'd also known/good Fire Extinguishers always ready at hand.
Same w/ all glass, get it taped off and protected too as many well intentioned projects have gone awry when later realized that glass has been damaged by grinding/wire wheeling etc.
Whatever the individual task, best always stop for a moment and look carefully at the big picture to make sure all areas are protected whether they be chrome/glass/interior parts.

Otherwise, keep up the awesome work Ryan!

It`s too quiet...too quiet means, not achieving completion dead line....the spreadsheet becomes useless [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

HeHe -- completion deadlines sometimes are !@#$%. I have been asked may times during builds ... &quot;when will it be done?&quot; -- my response is always the same. &quot;It will be done when it's done and not a second sooner&quot;. TAZ

I just got back and cleaned up from a successful visit to the igloo:-)

I completed 50% of both rear wheel wells.

They are tough!!!

Agree my schedule needs review and reallocations:-(

So far nothing is a show stopper for my goal of one since drive in 2017 before the snow flies:-)

Dan: You are welcome any time to Canada, let's work on this old car together!!!
