    Not sure how Tom (TMQ) is doing it, but whatever he's doing looks like it's working out just fine.
    Yes....Buffer with green stick compound.

    Major accomplishment on those seats as well.


    Looks like there is a 2nd Javelin / AMX in the house there ?
    Yes....Parts car.

    They had those seats that I've cleaned in there and a raccoon lived in the car for some time!

    Dang nasty work getting mud and coon poop out of the seats!

    The difference in the seats is striking. Once again Woolite (and elbow grease) to the rescue. Sometimes old school procedures and products just work best.

    Is that the 343 or the 390 in that engine compartment?

    Yes....They do!

    Haven't seen them yet. Stacked up high on a shelf.

    Will get the rear seats, door panels and headliner down sometime within the next week or so.
