That looks good. When I bought mine I couldn't find anyone to record it n the time frame I needed. So I went with the aluminum one. When I took mine out it came out n three piece

This afternoon I got a little done. I got some paint on my battery tray and got the panel started for my headlight relays.

Aaauuuuuggg, my wife's Cherokee won't pass smog again!! The only thing that changed since it passed last time was I replaced a MAP sensor.
The problem is fixing it is time consuming and and costs $30.00 for every re try. then we are moving in 5 months to a place that doesn't require smog on 30 year old vehicles.
So the Dodge has to be on the road by the end of the month.
I have almost enough parts to make the Dodge go but it is raining and I am running out of stuff I can do on it inside. You might say when it rains it pours..
Maybe i will do some sewing.like this. First try at a complete seat with nothing to go by for a pattern.

Mark, you look so serious on that sewing machine. Very dominating, LOL!
You truly are a craftsman! If I was stuck in an island, playing in that stupid survivor show, I'd definitely want you on my team!

Thanks Augie, I was watching the presser foot on the machine. I using it as a guide to keep those seams parallel and keeping all three layers under the foot and not bunching up. Not my favorite seam I looks lopsided to me, I like the french seam better. tho one with three rows of seams.
