    I'm telling you guys, the Home is where it is at. I used to go there with my Girlfriend to visit her Mom, and I've never been pinched on the behind so many times in my life.


    Well, I took everybody's suggestions and cut out the center of my seat bases today, getting ready to put some webbing across the hole. I think that is a great idea, and thank Brian and everyone who contributed it.

    While I was there I painted the interior side panels and under the seat with black bed liner. I know it will be getting overspray on it when I paint the car, but I plan to put one or more coats over this one. I want no light coming through the body, and doing that should insure it. I didn't do the portions of th stringers where the upholsterer will be stapling and gluing upholstery and carpeting, for the reasons I mentioned yesterday. It will just make his job that much easier.

    I also made up a stainless steel switch panel to go under my seat. I am going to use them for my fan, electric fuel pump, headlights, horn, etc. I am going to put my ignition switch in the dash because I hate fumbling around under the seat to insert a key, but I had the same arrangement of switches on my '27, and after a while you can go by feel to turn on what ones you want. I may engine turn the panel, but for now I just sanded it to give it a brushed look.

    Here are some pictures of that progress.
