Closed up the shop this afternoon as I'm leaving early tomorrow afternoon to go back home to San Jose, CA.

Still haven't gotten the seat actuator's roll-pin out but will take Howard's advice and make a tool, which I can possibly do at home, then bring it with me when I come back next time. I did come up with something I found in the shop that suited the bill perfectly just as it was for shape and size but unfortunately it was too weak or the pins too tight although I did manage to move it another eighth inch or so. Looking at available c-clamps that I had, they were either quite tiny or far too huge!

Cleaning up the parts car's floors, I am curious why both of my cars have pink carpet and so did the 1953 Patrician that I used to have. I'm sure that originally they were color-keyed to the upholstery color but it seems odd that age would make them consistently and evening pink even in hidden areas!
