Thanks for the help everyone! Here are a couple update pictures.
Rolled outside to power wash the undergarriage before wire wheeling and undercoating.

I was planning in repainting my dash to black but then this one came along on eBay so I grabbed it. Mine had a few good cracks underneath. This one only has a couple small ones.

Believe it or not, years ago there was actually a Torino at a salvage yard near me. It was pretty picked over but remarkably the whole black back seat was still there..Shocked so I grabbed it..

So now my biggest hurdle is finding someone/somewhere to turn these white bucket seats (with power driver’s) from a ‘77 Thunderbird into the original looking S&H black buckets. I can’t find repro ones online so they will have to be custom made. A local upholstery place wanted $800 A PIECE to redo them with new cushions..😳

Gary you can clean and paint the seats with SEM Color Coat Landau Black. If you prep it right, it will never come off.

Ya, I thought of that. Believe it or not, I the early 80’s I actually created a replica Dukes of Hazard General Lee. It originally had a white interior which a buddy and I redid in light brown. Worked good. I’d really like to get these buckets to look like an actual L.E. and match the back seat..

Me, “Circa 1982”. Wish I still had that car!! It was a blast to drive around town!

Yeah getting the exact pattern will be pricey. But painting will you get you by while you keep looking. I have a 69 Charger, they really are a blast to drive
