Funny. Those are the same as the 7x series hood bumps.

It could be. It was not in an OEM bag though.

 

[OGBeno]

Well if he is selling them as his, probably won't be.

 

[wngrog]

Dunno. It was $10

Happy one year road-worthy birthday Patina

Fancy seats? Headliner?

 

[wngrog]

Coral colored seats.

I’m over my “Patina” seats ......

 

[G-Cat]

Good call

How's that gonna fit into the whole Patina theme?

 

[wngrog]

Just like opening the hood.

Open the door and it’s going to be tight.

Also I want to take the top off this year. The seats in there would not have held up well to the elements or direct wind.

I like. Good color choice.

Thanks. It was a tough call but my seat was shot. I’ve been using a pad.

This way it still looks like a beater from a distance.

I also want the back seats to be usable. Will and Berkley love to be picked up in this old junk I drive.


Any idea what these small screws held in the OEM? There are 4. Drivers rear fender well only.

Also, the other day when my hose blew off at idle I realized my cobbled together tool kit was the suck so I got a nice complete kit for Patina’s tool box

Those screws in the rear DS fender well may have held mounts for the jack handles. At least that's where they go on later 40s.

On my ‘69, that’s where the jack handles mount but on the passenger side wheel well.

I have the ones on my passenger side and the screws are the same size but staggered instead of next to each other

Crap...I meant PS. Got ahead of myself. Scrap that post.
