Ok…we are rollin’ along  now.  I’m also running these over on Armed Forces Car Club, so there will be two winners, one for this site and one for theirs.

Here is the next car.

This is (again) a 60’s era car.  This is not of the Big 3 but this company brought us some excellent cars with some healthy power plants  under the hood.

In it natural state (right off the assembly line), this car was not a muscle car, but now days you can find them with all kinds of transplants.

Good luck with this one.

The answer is a 1967 Dodge Polara.  Steve got it correct.

I like these cars especially with the 440’s.

Ok this is one of the big three.

These came with various engine sizes and in two and four door.

Back then not really considered a muscle car, but I’ve seen some you’d call American Muscle with no problem.

Good Luck.

TMI 70 MUSTANG SEAT UPHOLSTERY – Review

By | | , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Included in my list of mod and upgrades for my 1970 Mustang was some new upholstery.

Now there is always the issue of replacing vinyl with vinyl or replacing it with leather died to the color.  But that’s just not going to happen on this “average” budget.

So I ordered a complete set of TMI from M Detail in Riverside, Ca.  The price was right and although I’m not in a hurry the shipping was quick.

Now I’ve never done upholstery before, so this will be the first time. I’m also no expert in Corinthian vinyl (umm..I’m no Ricardo Montabon…) or Ruffino vinyl (just for the record I’m against harming Corinthains and Ruffinos so I specifically ordered imitation version) but the quality of the stitching and the thickness of the padding was very impressive.

So I’m going on the record as saying that if want to stay on budget and quality is important give TMI Upholstery a try.

I don’t receive compensations for these review, just make comments on what I like.

Thanks for reading.

Recap of the rules:

Here how it works.

A small excerpt of a car photo will be post and you have to guess the car and year.

Each pic will be accompanied by a few hints.  These will be production cars, not concepts or one off’s.

I’ll post as often a possible and keep a tally of the first right answers on the image that follows.

You have to be the first with the right answer and the first to reach 5 correct answers.

The first with five correct answers will win a free gift. Normally, car related DVD, CD or a Bolt Depot Fastener gauge (screw/bolt) – metric or U.S.  (These will be mailed to you, so you are going to have to provide an address.)

Additional note:  All of these cars will have had appeared on my blog over the past 1.5 years.

So here is the first image.

This is a GM.  Produced in the 1960’s.

Contest #1 Image

Post your best guesses.  First correct answer posted wins.

Thanks for reading…good luck.
