Kevin, your RR looks great... are you staying with the original outside color on the car? I had a 71 RR and really regretted selling it almost the minute it was gone.

Again... great job...

I have some more updates, just need to get pictures uploaded. I have the steering column all finished up and the seats recovered. its been a little slow lately and the body isn't any closer to getting painted than it was 2 months ago

I was able to assemble an almost complete set for my owners manual package. The only thing thats a reproduction is the warranty card curtesy of ECS. and the only thing Im missing is the stopping, accelerating and passing record sheet. everything else in this is MINT!

as of now, the body hasn't been touched since december and even prior to that, not much has been done. not to mention hes already over estimtion by $3,500. I am seriously considering taking it to another place.. and thats all I have for now.

Looking good Kevin. Who are you using for your paint/body? I agree with you about the seats. If you had an upholstery shop do them for you, I would take them back and have them tighten them up. Otherwise, if you need a name of someone, let me know. They look pretty "sacky" and they will only get more loose once you start sitting in them.

I am having a guy by the name of mitch lafferty paint it (use to work at the resto shot El cars in cameron) I did have a sit down with him and expressed my disscouragment and he told me it will be ready for paint by the end of the week I did also have the seats done in an upolstery shop in Eau claire. If anything, Ill see how they work out this summer and take them back in the winter if they havn't gotten any better.
