Thanks for the positive thoughts. It's been a rough summer and fall has not been better but taking it one day at a time. Progress is progress any forward movement is one thing closer to getting this on the road.
Only got 45 minutes on this today so kinda feel scattered on the technical side. I've been planing this part since like May. So I have some idea of what I wanted to accomplish.
Then not sure anyone else caught it but I actually saw a episode of something tonight on Motor Trend it was like a '53 Chevy and they used the similar blankets for their seat covers.
They used one for each of the bottom and separate ones for the backs or atleast parts of them for the sections and glued them to the seats. I don't think I can commit to gluing these, that might be a mistake.
Those seats are very similar to wagon seats as it was a 2DR and folder forward per side.
It also had some cool patina work done using some Boiled Linseed Oil, Mineral Spirits in a 3:1 ratio with a few Oz of Penatrating Oil, going to try that an old 1976 Garden Tractor then maybe that would work for the Wagon, who knows.
I forgot he washed it with brillo SOS soaped pads, or the gray scotchbrite, or 0000 steel wool. It came out pretty slick.
So who knows maybe I need to look at that seat method.
On the Boiled Linseed Oil, I feel it can be kinda sketchy, I'm pretty certain that's what I read one time that destroyed part of Reggie Jackons car collection in a big fire, there were used rags with BLO tossed in the trash and they self combusted somehow. I do have one of those triangle fire cans for rags like that.
Follow me for more ways to be distracted....
