Default Competition for Paul Champagne?
I have been working on the interior and electrics. I have fixed about everything electric that wasn't working(put new guide roller in pass. window guide and used a cut piece of roller blade wheel aluminum bearing and a nut and bolt instead of peening the end of the included one-worked like a charm). I did alot of work on the front seats to make them somewhat usable till I can get them recovered. Drivers side was a mess with a bolster almost gone. I used spray foam to recreate the bolster and then shaved the foam to the right shape. I then patched over the bolster and other areas of the seats with salvaged leather from my old 1/4 panels using Gorilla Glue. I have redone the headliners and they look ok except for some warpage issues. I know some of you will be disgusted (I am a little embarrassed to show you.)by my poor mans engineering but it is a huge improvement for the time being. I have fixed the rust issues and put some paint over it till I can get the correct paint job in the future (embarrassed a little about this too).

Maybe it's just a bad picture. Bad lighting maybe.

I'd like to know how the speakers were mounted in the seats, that is genius.

That's a bit of factory perforation. Seriously.

My talents may have peaked and I don't know if I could again achieve this level of perfection. It was a once in a lifetime moment I'm afraid.

I'll go along with "Huge improvement." Other than that I'm speechless.
