There was a lesson there for me in the bulb adjustment. Ellie said use the pliers dad wanted to slot the screw. Ellie was making a decision based on what we need to do now dad was making a decision on what we can do for later. This is the dynamics between my wife and me. She thinks about what needs to be done now. I think about the later which most ALWAYS delays the process. This is why I gotta listen to her more. Good Job you two

This is exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you!

i cannot stand the sweep gauge in my 65 Mustang, but I do love this set even despite my aversion to digital. This video has me reconsidering.

Nothing needs to be perfect. It's the best feeling doing something yourself and achieving it and making memories together while doing it is priceless. Keep up the great work. 👏

Great job girl

Did you say your plan is to drive it every day? Are you putting in an air bag? I understand the love of restoring but you are restoring a 60’s vehicle with absolutely no safety features. Ask your Dad about the commercial with the crash test dummies, they did not survive. GMC started to introduce safety features such as seat belts and foam covered dash boards so that people would not die upon impact. Cars are made out of plastic so that they absorb the energy and the pieces fly off. Your car is made of steel and it absorbs all the impact and shakes you up like a sardine. Please do your safety research to make you a safe as you can be.🚘I know I’m over stepping my boundaries. Please drive safe.

😊great job! I’m going to tackle my Vespa seat! Cheers- Vespa Squash from Nor-Cal!

Wish they all had the original hub caps...

Looks great. This is a sort of nonconventional but unique build I have to say, this is a restomod but with a completely stock power train and not even a V8 lol and I think I like it

Excellent work. One point I found with zip ties is to keep them slack while making adjustments. Once everything is good then pull them tight. The list wires fall into the slots and you can get a really good contour.

Looks great! Nice jo

Carl, I'm sure, doesn't mind!

But why you did you want to take out front bench seat what if you meet a boy that likes you and you let home drive your car and you can cuddle up next to him when he's driving your car

Big ups for rocking the Simone Giertz Truckla shirt. "Perfection is overrated." That is a huge lesson and learning it while you're still young is good.

I just finished redoing the buckets and rear bench seat in my 67 falcon futura sports coupe. I feel your pain. The zip tie trick you showed is awesome. Just wish I had known about it while wrestling the first bucket seat. Love your channel, been watching from the early early days.

Ya gotta slap slap slap the seats into shape lol. They look really Good! My mom used to skin and build seats on the focus and navigator line at the chesterfield trim plant! Keep it up Carl's getting suited up lol

Also, remember, these were far from perfect from the factory, so, yours probably looks easily as good as, if not better, than the original. Great work!

Nice work

Nice job. I will be doing the same to my ‘64 Comet Cyclone buckets as soon as my new foams arrive!

You two did fantastic job on the seat it looks really good . Carl is coming together nicely , maybe I'll see it someday in person .

Perfection and good enough are the Ying and Yang of the garage. The trick is to find balance. You found the first try wasn't "good enough" second time you found something just a little bit better. Aligning up on the bottom helped. The end product showed success just a little better than good enough. Balance! PS. I'm 69 and I got a 65 Futura "C" code last January. I "Blame" you.Hehehe! Hope to meet you at the Nationals someday.

Nice work... Looks great.... Enjoyed it!

It makes you wonder how they made millions of these? There must be a trick to this kind of work - or it just takes experience!

Great video! Seat looks fantastic!

Perfection? You've achieved it! Your daughter-father communication and relationship ARE perfection! You two work together...perfectly. That's what I stop by to see.♥ If you please... I feel that your lovely bucket seat...and Carl himself...are simply little bonus gifts for you two. I hope you both enjoy reclining and relaxing and motoring with Carl for decades to come. Aloha!

Like it! Best lesson: Perfection is not necessary in most cases.

Very nice work and looks awesome.

Warenmann is EXACTLY RIGHT!!! That is why mine has been sitting in the garage in a million pieces for 10 years. Please keep doing it the way your are doing it. Your enjoying your car and I've lost interest in mine.👍❤🙏

Perfection is the enemy of good enough, a phrase often used to describe how people can get caught up in making things perfect and - as a result - never get anything done. You got the job done and it looks good, Carl will be happy...

❤love your podcast

Make sure to put Carl on a battery tender!

Hi

You Guys Rock. ALWAYS up for the Challenge. 💪

Chicks=tats? No

Don't touch the bulbs with your bare hands . I hear the oil on your fingers aren't good for them.

Ah, but what stops it happening again? Perhaps it needs a little cable tie on it?

Zip ties get brittle over time… 🤦‍♂️

Zip ties snap. It’s not hate comments. As a mechanic I regularly see zip tie embrittlement after even a few months. Now if you use zip ties to hold in place long enough to make hog rings easier to apply. That’s another story. But these will snap

I think it's a clever idea, but I'm just concerned that, since they're so tight, the metal framework will cut through the plastic over time. That said, I'm pulling factory zip ties out of the engine compartment of my 35 year old S10 and 300ZX and they're still functional. So good on ya!

It ain't stupid if it works

Good idea 💡

If the seats are used a lot, I feel like you'll need to replace the seat covers before the zip ties. when i was a kid, my entire quad bike fenders were stitched back together in multiple places. The zip ties outlasted the quad itself.

Awesome 😊

Good zip ties can last a unbelievably long time, curious how this works out

Best dad ever 🙏

I guess most of your viewers have not attempted this, so you are teaching us something new, well done it looks great. I’m intrigued how those hog ring pliers work it would be nice to see them in detail some time.

There's a reason why Hug rings are used for one zip ties will break after several years Hog rings won't so you'll be doing that job later on down-the-line unless you get into an accident and those and it's due to those plastic Zip Tiles they don't last very long. So please put the zip ties awayAnd use the hog ring

You should get a crossflow head from Australia. Whether Iron or alloy, it will be so cheap that delivery will be the major cost. Just be careful which generation. 1st generation is a cast Iron ‘Cleveland’ style crossflow head from the mid 70’s. Then came a Yamaha designed & built alloy crossflow head from the early 80’s. Later came a SOHC update that may require some modifications. Late a DOHC one, then finally a DOHC 24 valve head with Variable intake runners & VVT. IMAO getting the iron one will be best as it’s the simplest swap.
