Well, looks like a trip to Shreveport is in our future; Daniel found a front and back seat on Craig's List there.

One would think in all of Texas we could find seats...!

Pics to come... hopefully.

Are you insisting on stock seats? You could probably do some measuring and findf some that will fit localy. Chuck

well, Daniel would like "stock-ish" seating... anything from a 62-64 Merc full size or Galaxie should do...

wonder if I could go to my local salvage yard and have them do a search or something like that?

anybody ever done that?

Daniel spends some time "in the shade" doing the rustproofing...

 Breezeway window "blues"...

got rust?  KBS "Rust Blast" to the rescue!

 guts of the Breezeway window...

 window and surrounding trim back in place!

 would you send your son off to school in this??  well, maybe not just yet!

best laid plans... ha!

found a tranny mount that had the e-brake bracket intact by reaching out to the full size Galaxie forum guys (thanks, "DAZE"). Had the bracket cut off and then welded onto our frame piece, reinstalled it on the car, hooked up the ebrake cables. drained the auto tranny and cleaned the filter at the same time.  now have it all buttoned up and ready to fill with ATF and adjust the ebrake and then off to get it inspected, then hopefully registered with the year-of-manufacture license plates.  Seats hopefully found locally at a salvage yard, if they will deal with Daniel on the price.

hopefully, the next pic or two we'll post will be of Daniel behind the wheel on the road in his insured, titled, registered first car!

thanks for your continued interest and good will!
