    My seats in my wagon were done with OFI stuff, and even after 10 years if smells good in there.
    As you know, I am probably the most frugal person in the club, that's likely why you elected me treasurer. These seats were the same price as the modern replacements I have seen at other Falcon vendors... Plus I haven't seen the Steerhead reproduced for premade covers, just bolts that I would have to take somewhere for custom seats. I feel it was a great deal for quality covers from a local guy that will stand behind the product and offer advice on batting and hog ringing.

    My seat frames are pretty clean so a scuff and shoot is probably all they need. I wish you were on this side of the water... you would get tired of me showing up at your door with "small" projects.

    I'll likely have a Norton frame and swing arm for you blast and coat next spring so you are not off the hook. I also have a few parts I want you to test your Chrome Powder and Clear Coat on such as some roof rack brackets and tubes, the Norton fenders and some other smalls I'l had my eye on.

    Indeed - this is worth it. And glad to hear you still have all your limbs and children.

    Real nice Jeff. That steer-head pattern is almost hypnotic.

    I'm bringing that hose for your Jag cap tomorrow. It worked well on mine. Hopefully what I have left you can use.

    New 1-1/4" foam in the bottom seat and two layers of thin batting over the original cotton and burlap. The old foam was bad shape and removed.

    All the metal sanded and painted. There is a lot of surface to cover.

    I think they look great and will look even better after a few full days in the hot sun.

    Now I tackle the front.

    Very nice Jeff!

    Say... those chains under the seat... are those my missing chains by chance?

    I thought those were supports for my sex swing... but those are all accounted for.

    So, I'm confused... was that a "yes, those are probably your missing chains" or a "no, those are for my leveler?"

    If they are mine, any chance I can get them before this weekend. We could make use of the leveler if I had those.

    I'm pretty sure they are yours. We used Jeff's hoist with your tilter for Gary's and Kenny's engine.

    Yes, those are your chains. I found them tonight in the box of stuff returned with my engine hoist. I placed them strategically for the photo so you would jump out of your chair when you noticed them. Return plan is in your other post "case of missing chains"

    I don't have a leveler... or a sex swing
