Well, consider me a redneck then... in cleaning up the original seats, the driver side needed a little TLC for some rips in the seat. Duct tape just seemed like the right answer (isn't it always the right answer?), and the whole seat bottom looked better than a few spots here and there... so there you go. This ought to be nice and comfy and not stick at all in the summer sun, huh? :-)


I also acquired some new (used, but new to me) tires and wheels from David (Higgins), pic'd below. The lugnuts on the truck are thus far showing to have a lot of stubbornness, but I'm hoping to get those tires changed out soon.

I finally got a new air filter/cover and breather (after looking all over Raleigh for the right size grommet). It dresses up the engine block a bit with some chrome, but it's not really worth a pic yet... I'll have to clean that up some more first.
