Lightbulb Update

I finally have the seat belt buckle working like I want it. It took 3 of us together to get it right. Turned out to be we had to add another relay to the harness. It's temporarily until tomorrow when I'm off and can get it permanently finished up I ran out of time today.

Talking Both are installed!

OK both seats are installed and wired! Have heat on both sides. When the seat belt is unbuckled the heaters will shut off automatically! It took several people and me to figure it out but it now works as I wanted. All power and lumbar work as well.

I got the center console drying after using 2 part epoxy to fix where it had cracked. Once it dries good I will be doing filler and smoothing it out and cleaning the trim up to get it ready to install. My plan is to mount both amps inside the console. I hope they want over heat inside the console.

Talking Tublar control arms

I found a set of Porterbuilt control arms for less than $1000.00 used. Both upper and lower arms with new bushings and grade 8 hardware to mount them on stock cross member.

Andy, I know he makes narrow ones as well as "stock" width. Make sure on what you get as it will affect your wheel location. You will just need to get the correct ball joints for your spindles.

Thanks Dave,
yea these are just the regular arms. They should be just like what I have only tublar correct? He has the 73 up ball joints in them but I would need to swap them out to the 71.
