The upholsterer my buddy in Tn found just used the stock seat for a redo. We did have him put the red piping to pull in the red from the side car body.

It's an 81 car, so I can see where it would have that 80's feel to it. I'll have the tonneau cover it whenever there isn't a body in it.

Right on.

Going back to your exhaust; what length muffler did you order? I'm getting ready to order mine. However, I want mine to fit shorter. The options I have found are 35 inch, 31.5 inch and 24 inch. Initially I thought 35 would work based on the length of my current muffler which is just under 35 inches. I thought that if the muffler was too long I could either cut the muffler at the inlet end or the header at the outlet.

I bought the 35..

The headpipe I bought allowed me to adjust how long I want the muffler. I can slide muffler in a few inches if I wanted it shorter.

It could also easily be cut down for shorter if you want.
