Hi Mike! We just had 16" of snow over the weekend, so it'll definitely be a white Christmas around these parts. We're just waiting our turn for the paint booth at Scott's shop. Dan's '68 428 HO Catalina was a priority, but a couple of other projects 'slipped' in before the GT-37...it'll happen this summer. It's a running and driving car now with the rebuilt 455HO and B/W ST-10. I'm hoping to get some original white door panels (cards), at least the driver's side anyway. We have a new headliner to install and will get the front seat reupholstered. I really like to have a nice interior to drive in regardless of what the car looks like outside.

I hope you are doing well too!

Merry Christmas!

Neat car! Have you ordered your seat upholstery yet? Was told 10-12 months for seat covers recently.

How much less does the bench weigh than buckets?

KSZR, I haven't ordered any vinyl as the upholsterer will most likely order something with a similar grain as the morrokide vinyl. This GT-37 was ordered with the optional all-vinyl seats (upper left item on the PHS - code TRM) along with the custom foam cushion (code 571 which is heavier foam padding in the seat bottom), so no fabric to deal with. The bench is probably about 20 lbs. lighter than a pair of bucket seats.
