Yessir. If people don't know what they are buying and the good parts have been picked off the car. The cost can double quickly. 58 impala front seats, 59/60 convertible back seats. 58 convertible trunks...stuff that isn't available in catalog.Yes, it is the finer details of restoring a car that really chew up the time.
I too am glad my car came with seats, the price of replacements if you can find them is staggering to say the least.
I believe the orange tinge may be from the iron in the rinse water.When using the ospho I noticed it wants to turn the metal a orange tinge. Is that normal? It went away with 80 on the DA, it was also raining all day yesterday and extremely humid
