Oh no, those are the seats that came with the car. They are not attached just there to steer it onto the trailer.

This is one time that the comment "that'll buff out" is quite appropriate!

Your car is going to look sweet!

A word to the wise.....keep your cool and do not yell at each other when reinstalling the windscreen assembly.

If you have not already done it ,turn the rear shock bolts around so the nuts are hidden and the bolt heads are in the wheelwell. You will get a bit of extra clearance. My 72 MGB has Saab wheels and when the car is hooked up in a corner the tire on one side still make a bit of contact. I found this out at Haps run at the Carolina Motorsports event last fall. It does not scrub with any street driving just when loading up the tire (on the right side with my car)on the track. Rubber bumper cars and a lowered chrome car may differ but watch for it. Looking good in blue! Bob

We have already attempted one windscreen installation...we cracked it! I now have the original cracked one, a cracked one that was given to me and a cracked replacement one stuffed in the crawl space under the house. The new one is in the dining room and we are really dreading its installation. Any suggestions or words of advice would be welcome at this point. I know we are both dreading it!
