Where did you get the seats done? And do you think they could build another set?

I really like the look. kinda OEM, and kinda not. Very nice..

Working on the doors

Finally got the doors on today, missing the outside felt so we were unable to put the window frames in.

outside

Couldn't find the stainless bolts so put the old ones back on for now.
Wing window rubber is OEM, yes both sides. Powdercoated the frames satin black,
can't wait to see the doors complete with the hard top.
