I don't like leather either, I was very happy to find mine with cloth seats. Which in the F-body's case the cloth is MUCH higher quality than the vinyl/leather used, but that aside cloth is cooler and it holds you in better. For those last two reasons alone I prefer cloth.

Installed Strano's Master cylinder brace. Very nice. Tomorrow is to clean out the mess that has accumulated in my backseat since the beginning of the year.

finally got some time and was able to give it a decent detail Friday night. It still could use some paint correction and a polish but for only a couple hours and all by hand I'm happy with how she looks for now. Hopefully next is finally installing the SLP lid and a few other small items I bought months ago

It's amazing what a good detailing can do to a car. Even on on that already looks good, if it hasn't been done in awhile.

Not that I really "did" anything but I did turn 120,000 miles. BTW I really like those wheels also.

I vote that you keep the stock look. I have a '73 Vette that a previous owner installed modern aero mirrors and I don't like it! When I get it painted, I'll have stock mirrors reinstalled.

Not exactly modern, but maybe second gen mirrors would turn out nicely.

Finally got around to installing my freshly powder coated wheels. Much better than the chrome for sure! Now the question is whether to reinstall the fake wheel rivets, install stainless screws or leave the holes empty.

A couple of things lately

started with a clean slate for the rear bumper filler, I got a reprint that is less orange so Ill probably slap that on tonight.

Installed my hawks billet power steering pump bracket shame its hidden and really highlights how awful the hoses look.....I know cbm (i think) sells a kit, but I have black fittings on all my steelbraided line so I hate to spend the money on the kit only to take it apart. Wish I could find just the fittings on the pump and rack separate and make my own hose kit.

also got a billet alternator bracket during a 4th july sale but I think Im gonna get a black tough stuff alt replacement to go with it. sensless stuff honestly none of it is bad and most will never see it or appreciate it...oh well it makes me happy haha

I have some billet caps for the air and egr lines cause I wasnt thinking when I bought my headers...... I should have got the race versions and I still might do that over the winter then sell these on the cheap. They really get in the way and Id like to sped the money to get them coated so they dont bronze. back to my original saying of do it right or do it twice

Your saying reminds me of an old coach's from my high school, "Do it right do it light, do it wrong do it long."
