I agree with silver 69--both posts. The seat covers are not cut out for the head rests. You have to do it. Not a big thing, you can feel through the seat cover where to cut. I think I would try the dye thing again if the covers are in good shape.

You just have to pry it up out of the clips. But, and there is always a but, it will bend real easily if you are not carefull. A real expensive mistake. And you already removed the screws on the back edge? Good luck.

I've had alot of rebuilt junk fail in 1-2 yrs. The quality keeps getting worse. I now try to buy new or rebuild myself.

Any suggestions on a good body shop in the Long Beach/South Bay/Orange County area? My 69 has alot of small cracks and a few large ones also.

I had one that started to rust from the inside out. I cleaned it up as good as possible, then inserted some scrap threaded rods into the hollow spaces, then poured in glass resin. Any places that ozed were sanded and painted. It is now very strong and won't rust on the inside any more. All...

Any suggestions to pick someone for body work in the Long Beach/Los Angeles area? I will paint the car myself afterwards. Price is important, but quality work is the #1 priority.

Just changed the upper radiator hose on my 69 BB. It had a groove in it where the alt. belt hit it. I think there are 2 possibilities as to what happened. I recently changed the belts when I replaced the ps pump. May have hit when the belts were not tight. Or, broken motor mount. The hose...

My 69 BB is the same. That's the wonderful thing about these low tech v-belts. They really do work even when everything is not perfect.
