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.

I decided to post a comment this morning to berate your lack of updates again and what do I find? You've become a master upholster-er! Personally, I think the duct tape lends a bit of shiney, semi-metalic class to the ol' rustbucket (your words, not mine). Reminds me of Archie Bunker's chair on All In the Family or Fraiser's dad's chair. Just remember, "If it doesn't move and should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape." That might make a nice bumper sticker or even a windshield banner. Think about it.
