**Update**
Took the whole interior out this weekend! More money to be spent! LOL, took the seat covers off the original seats and found that they need some TLC! I have the new upolstery for them but I need 2 new seat rails for both and seat buns plus the cost of paying someone to do the work on them. So I decided to just buy new seats from Mustangs Plus, I will end up spending more on new seats but they will be a lot more comfortable. Going with these seats!http://mustangsplus.com/xcart/produc...at=2233&page=1! I also need to order new insulation foor the floor, firewall and seat divider to go with the carpet and sound deadening mat that I already have. So I am starting to come up with stuff that I won't need and would like to sell.

1. Original 289 block with rotating assembly still together including the oil pump and timing chain.
2. 4 barrell carb that came with the car (I'm going with a Edelbrock 625)
3. Original seats
4. Original intake manifold
5. Original hood
6. New 2 tone Blue bucket seat upolstery

Anyone who wants this stuff or knows anyone that needs it let me know!

Your right so far MonsterBilly about possibly having to give parts away, LOL. I figured maybe someone might want the brand new upolstery at least. But everyone must have what they need already.

Well I was going to do the new seat thing but I called MustangsPlus to see what type of Blue those seats were. They are GM Blue which won't even look close to the 2 tone Blue I have, so I found the name of the place you went to by calling Kustom Kar then I called "Bell Auto Upholstery" to find out how much it would cost to have this done

1. Fix the back seat frame showing through problem by adding foam there
2. Put new front seat skins on
3. Make 2 new seat backs (mine are tore and busted up)

Got quote for $300. Seems a little steeper than your cost, I am having more done but I don't think a extra $200 is worth the cost of the 2 added things I'm having done. Does this quote seem accurate or should I shop around more?

The most frustrating part so far is how long it takes for parts to come in! I've ordered tons of parts and the only parts I have so far really don't do me any good until the others come in, LOL!

Must be nice to get a return I owe the government $700... I had a good year so I guess I cant complain.

Seems like your going to have some nice projects coming up.

Got off the phone earlier with my motor guy and here is the numbers for my heads he transformed for me to go on the new motor. Turned out my stock heads were 260 heads and this is what he turned them into!

1.94 Intake
1.50 Exhaust

WOW!
