I had to return something and I had a coupon for 15% off my total purchase so I took a ride over to mustangs unlimited in Connecticut today, to pick up some misc odds and ends. I also picked up brackets for the deluxe seatbacks I scored on ebay a couple weeks back. Hopefully they should come in the mail tomorrow.

I wasn’t happy with the brushed alum. inserts that came with my door panels I got a few months ago, so I have been on the look out for some better quality ones, I scored a NOS set to replace them.

I got one seat done, but I realized the bracket set only does 1 seat so I had to order another for the other side. So Monday ill do the other side. Thanks again to my girlfriend for polishing up the stainless trim with some mothers polish.
