I got my car back from the shop, and all I can say is :hail: !! This was done on a regular stock flat hood and the blisters were purchased from Next Generation (Year One). Here's a picture!



Also today I installed 2001 ebony leather seats into my car. They are BEAUTIFUL! They are definately more comfortable then the other seats that were in there. The job wasn't really all that hard at all. I did as most others did with the belt holders, I made a small cut between the two screws where it attaches to the headrests. You can hardly notice it from a distance. The seat belt holder from the 3rd gen back seats were reused on the new ones. They transferred with no problems! I put black electical tape around the posts from the other seats since they were 50/50 split.



Here's one more picture..... Since my family and I were all doing car work/washing today I figured I'd snap a photo of one of my parents cars, lets see if any of you guys can guess the year/make/model.... hehe

lookin good on the seats and hood... but are you gonna change all the red interior pieces sinde you got the new seats?

Rage13

I like the way that black and red looks together! Think I may do it in my car.

TheWraith

looks good! i hope the rest of that red is going tho....it makes the car look like a fisher price toy or something

my red went bye bye long ago.

Whoa! Thats pretty damn bright red, but it looks so awesome. The blisters are totally kick ***. I plan on replacing my louvers for blisters.

Might I guess a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger? ? ? Says Tiger on side and Sunbeam on hood. . .

I've got the same seats ready to go into my GTA. My red interior is also gone . Question: The wiring harnesses that go between the seats...how many were there? Hawks forgot to send me mine. I checked the dealer and they want way over $100 dollars for them. Also, how did you wire in the power? Is there a separate 2 wires apart from the 6 wire connector?

Looks great man.

Good guess!! It's a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Most guess it's an Alpine...

zupmanZ28

I was gonna say a Tiger. My grandpa has a 63 Sunbeam Alpine that he's owned since new. It's absolutely beautiful, but it's got a blown headgasket Nice seats too, that almost makes me wish i had gone with leather on mine...

Looks sweet! What mods did your body shop have to do to make the blisters fit?

I put those same seats in about 2 weeks ago, they rock!

Y2KFirehawk

Thanks! He created a template to make sure both sides were even then drilled only as many holes as he had to. There seemed to be predetermined places for holes under the fireblanket under the hood, but he said that he ended up not using those? If you're interested in this, I would willingly copy the template for you to save you the time!

Nice lookin' seats!! Anyone suggest a certain brand of cleaner for leather seats?

The blisters and seats look awesome. I wanna get blisters on my IROC someday. Are you gonna keep the red carpet? It looks brand new, not faded at all.

Y2KFirehawk

Thanks! Umm, I'm kinda undecided on the carpet, as for now I'm still up in the air about it. I'm thinkin' about maybe adding some red embroidery (spelling?) to the seats or something maybe. Dunno yet....

I know most of you will agree leather is the way to go, but I think these seats may have gone a little better with the previous interior color. Just my opinion....

I'll trade ya!

WOW! The alignment on that hood is damn near perfect!!!! Are the blisters functional? They sure look it. Nice job.

Camrs89

Nice, I love the interior. I have red too and for some stange reason I like red. Dont know why though.

Y2KFirehawk

Thanks! You guys really make me feel like my earned money was really worth it!!! :lala: As for the blisters being functional, I didn't go that route right now, but it is definately something in my mind, just not sure how to go about doing it yet..... I've heard some others talk about doing it though.

HrdRockA4305

Yeah, I went leather cause I got a good deal, but the 2 color cloth seats are really sharp looking in our cars. Originally, since I have a black/grey interior, I was going to go with those. I figure they look really good in "billsfirebird" with the grey/red, so black/grey would be good. But, then I came across this deal, heard from a freind who heard from a freind, you know

Camrs89

I'm wondering if I shoulda told you about those seats, They look good in your car dave, better than those seat covers!!

Quick6

Nice seats. Heres mine:

HrdRockA4305

Hey you gotta admit though, for seat covers, they looked good.

BigMInstalls

WWasem,
needless to say, i am completly jealous. You have turned that 60* into one amazing machine. Keep up the good work.

Agian thanks for the help with the Strut Tower Brace info a while back...

Y2KFirehawk

Thanks a lot man!! That means a lot! I've put a lot of effort into the car, and I have nothing but great things that come from it. Anything I can help with I'm always happy to, I know I've asked for help more times then I can remember and people are always there and willing to help me! :lala:
