Now that we have the metal seat frames stripped and refinished, our time is devoted to restoring the mounting hardware and seat position adjusters. The position adjusters are mounted to the floor pan atop wooden slats. They could not be reused. I fabricated new ones from maple and coated them with urethane varnish. 
Tim had chosen the interior colors to blend with the exterior paint. The leather seat covers and vinyl panels match very well. The carpet, depending on your viewpoint, varies from light to dark. It is well within the range of acceptability. This photo does not capture the true nature of the colors, but it is close.
The bodywork is continuing and hopefully it will be RED very soon. Now that the installation of the engine systems are almost completed, we are planning to begin the start-up procedure early next week.
