Thanks Harry, turns out that my Girlfriend says she is a master seamstress and knows how to cut and fold in the right places. I am willing to let her have a go at it to see how it turns out and I'll let you know. I have my moms old school industrial type sewing machine here for her to try on as well. How cool, mom loaned me the the 500 bucks for the Vega in 79 , now I get to use her machine to help restore it.
I discovered that when we shortened the drive shaft years ago , that it was done improperly and that the drive shaft was bent and needed a new yoke on it today. A large 24 bay I-75 truck place that specializes in drive trains, is welding a new yoke onto a new tube and balancing it for me for around 150 bucks. Today the lower control arms got fitted with the correct bushings and installed with new springs and shocks. The hydraulic throw out bearing and bleeder extender, braided stainless lines and master cylinder got ordered today. The steering column is painted, and installed, the steering gear box is mounted, The new idler arm is mounted. A new center link and outer tie rod ends and sleeves and inners are on order. Front sway bar bushings are now ordered for both this project and the 82 S-10. The cabin side firewall is now thermally protected with the double sided aluminum backed sound and thermal barrier stuff....The AC unit goes in very soon. I need some 15 inch knock about rims and tires so she will roll.. Peace
