Sure - no problem. They have a few websites, but if you look at the bottom of their pages - it says M&T Manufacturing.

This is the website I got my seats from:
http://www.carupholsteryguys.com/

Here are some of their other sites:
https://www.mtmfg.com/
https://www.convertibletopguys.com/

They were great to deal with - fast & helpful email responses.

Bought my seat upholstery from them... Paid extra for leather (I'm a snob), excellent quality

Big night tonight - got a lot accomplished.

Seats upholstered - check
Seats installed - check
Turn signal cancel pin fixed - check
Steering wheel aligned - TBD on tomorrow's drive
Windscreen installed - check
Cleaned up - too tired


So - I got the front and back seats re-upholstered with my kit from M&T - can you tell the difference?

REALLY nice work, especially on the seats! I bet breakfast tasted great!

I'm just about there. Top frame came back Thurs night, gets refitted this weekend. Add some weatherstripping to the doors, and finish the trunk "floor" partition, and it's ready for the top shop on Tuesday. After that, just door cards and radio/center console install.

Quick question: who's wind deflector is that? I have A/R's, and I'm looking forward to getting it on the car.

Thanks for the continuing motivation!

That's - but I've always viewed it as the amazing things others have done on this forum :wink:

All I have to say is that the first drive after several month of labor is the greatest thing ever.

So - breakfast would have been great, but I woke up a little later than I would have liked and when we tried to start the car - I realized that the battery was low from having the doors open while working on it (and possibly an old battery). Anyways - lunch tasted great!

And we got a few conversations going at a local winery

Thanks! I totally agree with you! Your '79 restoration project has been a great story to read! Keep up the great work - don't worry the end is in sight!
