The bottom seat cushion comes out, but the backs can just fold down and it's easy to maneuver the interior trim panel w/the backs still attached.
The seat pad probably only pays .2 hrs so it's removal shouldn't be an issue.

Well, seeing as it just snaps in, I hope it only pays 15 minutes 
(I know, technicaly that's .25 hours but still).
Actually, depending upon the hourly rate, a 4 hour quote is not out of the realm of reason, and if they take their time and do it right, it is probably money well spent. As usual, you can get speed, economy, or quality - pick any two of the three because all three normally don't come in one package.

I'm a pain in the butt to please, and I'm tickled with these. I mean, if something's perfect, then what is there to change? The fact that you're able to deliver this kind of quality at that price is astounding.

Looks like tonight isn't any better (as of the bottom of the 7th) - at least I won't be worried about the WS while on my way out to SEMA... 
And I'm glad you like the workmanship - it's really a case of the more you do the better they get, and since I've personally handled every painted set, even I'm getting good at them now!

Heck, I didn't leave the shop until 9:30 tonight trying to get everything done prior to leaving for SEMA ! And now, the Indians have the tying run at the plate - can't go to bed now...
I'll get to sleep when I'm dead as they say.
BTW - I've got another surprise (guess it will need another thread...) - we finished the main machining of the new mirror **** controls today - just need to do the engraving now so that it looks like the automotive jewelry that we're starting to be known for around here
That, and the Temple / Legend Mustangs will be wearing custom versions of our stuff at the show, and going forward from here on !!

Cool - reporting in from the SEMA show, the louvers, honeycomb panel, and a modified rear medallion are on the ProCharger car, louvers are on the Galvin Ford Shelby car, some interior billet is on the Stillen Car, and Legend / Temple Performance has a custom rear medallion and cup holder on theirs. The show is huge, and we're getting some awesome product ideas from UNRELATED markets that should really raise some eybrows around here in the coming months. We're also working on setting up some good contacts to be able to offer everyone what I feel are excellent products that we are not set up to manufacture but are available from other reliable shops that will be excellent companions to our product line-up.
Anyway, we're enjoying SEMA, and there will be a ton of photos on our website when we get back and can post them up.

Was the Galvin Shelby the black one with the hips?

Not sure - the car that was supposed to have the louvers didn't make it, of all 4 cars, only the procharger car had our pieces on the back as they were supposed to, the others didn't have enough time prior to the show I guess...

We didn't have a booth there, so it wouldn't have done any good, otherwise we might have... the other problem is the cost of the booths there - anything more than one car starts to cost *SHTUPEED* money...
I wanted to say hi to people out there, but I was so busy the whole time I had no idea what was going on!

Marcello as soon as my Bullitt gets built and delivered I'll be getting a pair of these, I think it would complete the look along with heat extractor hood.
