It's certainly come a long way! I'm working on the seats now.

The covers from Legendary look awesome. The color is spot on, and the texture of the vinyl looks correct.

The seat foam however, is another story. It's from PUI, and it sucks. It's too thick, and the cuts in the foam for ringing in the bolster seams aren't long enough. They're allegedly for a standard interior Firebird, but they're nowhere close to my original foam.

So I've been slicing and dicing, and laying in metal rods to try and help replicate the original bolster lines. It looks like a few manufacturers were trying to bring another set of foam that would have the right cuts in it, but none is available and no timetable.

Yeah, for F bodies, the ACI foam is the best option.

For A bodies, Thornton foams appear to be the best option, and less expensive than ACI.

I bought complete seats from PUI for my A body, and they are terrible when it comes to the foam/padding. It's like sitting on an overinflated beachball.

Eric from Gardner Exhaust is a pleasure to deal with, and their exhaust products are second to none. Factory spot on, the pipes literally fall into place. They required very little adjustment on my 71 TA. They aren’t inexpensive, but the fit and finish was perfect, and they are MADE IN USA!!!! IMHO the only way to go!!!!
