Name that Car – #7

Ok…we are rollin’ along  now.  I’m also running these over on Armed Forces Car Club, so there will be two winners, one for this site and one for theirs.

Here is the next car.

This is (again) a 60’s era car.  This is not of the Big 3 but this company brought us some excellent cars with some healthy power plants  under the hood.

In it natural state (right off the assembly line), this car was not a muscle car, but now days you can find them with all kinds of transplants.

Name that Car #7

Good luck with this one.

Thanks for playing.

Name That Car – #6

Ok..here is the next round.

This is a tough one and I’ve given a little bit larger image.

This is an American made car.  It is not one of the big three but it did have a good run.

It is a 60’s era car but was never considered a muscle car.

Remember we need the car and the year.

Name that Car #6

Have fun.  Good luck.

Thanks for playing.

Name that Car – #4

Ok this is one of the big three.

These came with various engine sizes and in two and four door.

Back then not really considered a muscle car, but I’ve seen some you’d call American Muscle with no problem.

Good Luck.

TMI 70 MUSTANG SEAT UPHOLSTERY – Review

Included in my list of mod and upgrades for my 1970 Mustang was some new upholstery.

Now there is always the issue of replacing vinyl with vinyl or replacing it with leather died to the color.  But that’s just not going to happen on this “average” budget.

So I ordered a complete set of TMI from M Detail in Riverside, Ca.  The price was right and although I’m not in a hurry the shipping was quick.

Now I’ve never done upholstery before, so this will be the first time. I’m also no expert in Corinthian vinyl (umm..I’m no Ricardo Montabon…) or Ruffino vinyl (just for the record I’m against harming Corinthains and Ruffinos so I specifically ordered imitation version) but the quality of the stitching and the thickness of the padding was very impressive.

So I’m going on the record as saying that if want to stay on budget and quality is important give TMI Upholstery a try.

I don’t receive compensations for these review, just make comments on what I like.

Thanks for reading.
