This past weekend I spent my time narrowing the seat frames to fit my DSE mini tubs.  I had started this process a long time ago to see if I could even get it to work.  I took a rusted seat frame and started cutting and bending.  I took a slightly different approach on how the bottom frame got narrowed, the top frame was pretty much the same way I had previously tested. 

I ran out of hog rings so I still need to tug a pull the covers to get them secure and pretty looking.  The bottom seat is a very tight fit with the roll bar and the side panels are slightly curved different than the seat bottom sides.  They are just resting in there so I could see how they look and to give myself a little motivation.  Doesn’t look to bad with talking a total 3.5" out of the seat frames.

The dash pad is just sitting on the dash and in also replace the window regulator in the drivers door.  The window stays up when you shut the door now.  lol

I got more parts in the mail yesterday.  Hoping I can get the side panels painted this week, cover the package tray.  The material should be here by Thursday.  If all goes well I may have the interior all in by Sunday night or be very close.

I was pumped to work on it last night but forgot I had an online meeting for work.  Finished after 6:30 and by then I lost my energy and motivation.   Lol

But I can almost see the light now.
