You're going to love those!
I love mine; SO much better than the 40-year-old stock seats they replaced.

Drove it a little, reminded myself of the list of stuff I need to do to get it back on the road.
Fabbed a second hood latch, joined the 2 together and used a lawnmower throttle cable attached to my hand throttle knob as the hood release.
Now no-one can run away with my battery.

Impressive work...
I've got a couple of factory dash pads to choose from before recovering them. If they are too far gone, I may have to copy your idea.
I'm torn about what to recover the Dash-pad with. I really enjoy working with leather, but it gets very wet here, and it may not stand up well. I have recently picked up a Seiko walking foot industrial sewing machine, so I suppose the better option might be Vinyl... but, did I mention how much I prefer leather?
What did you cover yours with? Leather? or is it just good looking vinyl?
I've built a lot of custom wheelchair seating systems, so in comparison to foam in place seats that can't have any seams under the client, the interior of an old Fj40 would be a cakewalk... especially since I replaced the original clutch motor with a Servo motor. Now I can decide how many stitches per minute I want rather than how many feet per minute it would sew with the clutch motor.
Cracked open one of the last Anchor Steams left in my stash. Thought about working on the 40 tonight
That's a good start. You're gonna need a beerrun soon.
I will. Saving my last two bottles and two cans of Anchor Steam for a special occasion.
I'll have to switch over to Guinness and then turn a few wrenches

Loved Anchor Steam. Lived in SF for a spell and getting it fresh from the mothership was mind bending.
Golly, back in 1972, you couldn’t buy Coors Beer east of the Rockies. Two crazy and older friends of mine took his F-250 to Colorado and drove back to Vermont with 20 cases and did it all in a week. Good ole days are long gone…so is he by the way
Yeah, I got 3 cases in September 2023 when I was out there. Been. Nursing them along one or two at a time
I have a set of grey seats too, very comfortable!

I heard they were going to try and reopen. That was a great brewery tour.
Like the bucket seats

Thanks, the driver side is a factory 40 seat and the passenger is a modified 60 series bucket seat and they're covered with sunbleached cableas seat covers.
Awesome! I like my stock two seater, or half bench or whatever its called. The springs are so comfy. Just not very sportin'...

I will get by….I will survive -Touch of Grey LC200
This is great. Make me one!
Supposedly bought by the Chobani yougurt owner but no news about a reopening since that news broke last June.
