Seats are done & in!
Dan finally got the call that the re-upholstering of the seats is finally done! Yeah! It's interesting that 80% of the original solid vinyl portions of the seats was reused and all the fabric inserts are new (NOS from SMS). The new, supposedly NOS, black morrikide vinyl had a different grain pattern, so wasn't used, however, fortunately, the upholsterer had enough correct grain material on-hand to replace the worn driver seat bolsters. I'm sure that wasn't easy to deconstruct the original seat covers and 'rebuild' new covers with both old and new materials...but they did a nice job. So, it was worth the wait.
This news got Scott motivated to want to finish painting the front end! Sooo, the Catalina should be finished by this spring! Please ignore the wrong shifter handle as we'll keep looking for the correct one to install. This shifter handle works and doesn't interfere with the seat bench all the way forward, or the dash area, but is from an early A-body console car. If anyone knows the whereabouts of a handle, or complete set-up, please let me know (thanks!). Dennis |

Thanks Ben! We'd appreciate that. I know Dan can't wait to get it done more than anybody...

What's the correct # on your shifter handle supposed to be? I have a bench seat shifter handle(not sure of the #, but I can check) sitting in the barn.

SD455DJ....I was referring to the four digit number on the lower part of the handle, I'll try to get the # off of mine.

Peter Serio said the '67 shifter handle is #4179, but doesn't know the number for '68.

I did a little research and it may actually be for a Yenko Deuce. It may not work for you but I imagine someone would certainly want it.

Is there a resource for the factory 4-digit shifter handle codes and their applications?

I googled it but Pete Serio is the Guru as far as I know.

New repop floor mats laid down on the floors and the spare tire and jack installed now. Not too exciting, but at least a small step taken while we wait for paint.

Its been forever, is it done?
I've been following this build from the beginning. Beautiful machine.
Hasn't been much of an update in quite a while. (Can I get it cheap as an "incomplete project"?) No? Didn't think so! Dying to see it complete! |
