Home away from home

So I had to get some work done to my truck before the summer got into full swing, so now that is done I am back to focusing on the Patrician.

Got word that the carpet should hopefully ship in 2 weeks... hopefully. Been waiting a couple months for it.

last I heard on the seat covers is that they started it, ran out of material, created more material... I am due to follow up with them soon.

Didnt get a chance to modify one of my control switches to what Howard created. hopefully soon. I did start on re-bushing the rear suspension. I got mostly everything disassembled, going to try and get the big nut off of the front of the load arm tonight. Game plan is to have it disassembled and paint tomorrow and spend the holiday weekend getting the suspension back together.

Sounds like a good list to tackle. Your experience with the seat covers is what has me hesitating to have mine done at SMS. They are the only ones that have the right material, but I can order what I need and have someone local make them. It'll cost me a lot more, but with my car being driven I would rather pay more and have the car back on the road faster.
