Orings or flare on the box?
The box is made with o-rings same as OEM (metric 16/18 mm) but comes with the steel adapters if you want to use -6 AN (which I removed). I think you can order with earlier flared seats. It was a question they asked when I ordered which type I needed. HTH

Went and dug out my wheelwells from the attic in my brother n laws garage before it gets too hot out.
They need some more bodywork to get smoother, but I don't have time for that today. I washed the dust off real quick and dropped then in their home for now.

Got the Chief re registered yesterday, and put more miles on him today than I have on a single day that I’ve owned him. Other than an under-flowing fuel pump ( what I had on hand when I had to relocate for new exhaust), and what seems like a little vapor lock issue after 100 miles , he did great and I got a good amount of “open air therapy “.

Pic, cause it did happen!

Went out to put the back of the interior together in anticipation of having the seats done this coming week....shot down by my pickiness, I guess. Probably going to have to have the upholsterer redo the package tray, since it's not even close.

Advice to those in the market...SPEND THE MONEY ON A NICE COMPLETE CAR, unless you're building a gutted drag car. Interior is still the hardest part on these...

Should be fine...expensive, but fine. Pretty hard to mess up black....unless it's really charcoal when they say black.

My mistake was not wanting to have to buy door panels. At this point, I'd have been better off since almost everything got painted anyway. Live and learn. Probably still leave the wagon dark blue, though.
