simple tools get it done

floors getting welded in

floors in, mocking up steering too

Farmers daughter update take a seat

Well I didn't take the seat. Pick-n-pull charges $39.00 for 'em.
First try was cutting down the stock riser.
Got it in fine. Too tall. I must be closer to the floor.
Time to modify the old Chrysler seat..
Oh, and I got the one that folds forward.
Figure it would be handy to reach in back..

huge by large stock riser

chopped off most of the crap

kept the stock angle,front higher then back

back just cleared tunnel.
It ain't gonna work.
 



pulled foam and cover off,
added some bracing and cut out the rear rail..


phoned went flat, will have more pictures of the seat soon.
 

Farmer's daughter update - meets a dashing gentleman

I like it. And it was fun.

weapon of mass construction, the 5" cut off wheel

will roll the edges over

1-800-530-7636 Riley Automotive , headquarters for VAPHEAD , no secretaries allowed

Hey y'all. If you call my toll free number and get the answering machine..
LEAVE A MESSAGE !!
The 800 line does not have a caller ID, so I don't know who you are.
And I can't call back.
Most the time you get the machine because I'm on the other line talking with a customer.
But I can't call YOU back because you didn't leave a message ! 
My phones are busy I know, but I will call you back. (if you leave a message)
(my service converts the message to text and emails me- so I can check from my cell too)
Thank you.
