So who's LCA are you going with? I don't have impatience waiting for parts. Aint go no extra money right now, everything is on hold. To rub salt in the wound, looks like I have to get new head gaskets on my Subie to pass inspection. Got a huge oil leak but found some one who's a Subie mechanic that moonlights at home. I just don't have the time to do it. The wife needs the car Monday and this guy will do it over the weekend very reasonably.

TomOverdrive is overrated
Got the front shocks. Koni adjustables. $125 each. They say they don't make rears for Impalas. Yes they do. I ordered Chevelle rear shocks from them. I have a full set of Edelbrock IAS shocks for a 67 Chevelle on the Caprice.

To keep from going nuts from waiting for ordered parts, I decided to distract myself by installing my recently acquired Scat Procar seats. So long crappy 89 Cavalier seats. You can see boxes to some of the stuff they sent as torture. I can't install this stuff without the rest. Rat bastards.

Nice. I decided to go with a Mercedes Interior on my 66. Had a utility trailer been trying to sell on C.L. with no takers and the guy with Mercedes thought it was a good trade. Wish it was warmer out. I was going to get interior today, but woke up to snow everywhere.
Why dance when you can rock and roll?
those seats look real good in there, they match the door panels...some carpet and the interior will look pretty damn good.

Yeah those look like they'll keep you in place.

Nice work Scott - I hear ya about waiting for parts. Summit guy told me the arp head bolt washers were cheaper than edelbrock - what he didn't realize was that the ARP's are sold one head at a time! argh.
Interior is looking good Scott! In these days of tight inventories it seems everything is back ordered.
