Todays project was to get the amp rack built. These are all old school Orion amps from the 90's with matching old school Audio Control crossover. Unlike todays amps these are class a/b and put out gobbs of power and were hand made in the USA, no China junk here. I should be very close to 1500 real watts with this set up.

The skins. I have the older style bolster and was wondering if they still had the patterns.

I don't know, I had my bolster arm skins made at McLeod but they are the current style. Give them a call. Everything else I did myself.

I talked to Formula about four years ago when I re-did my hatch and back seat. They didn't have the material nor the patterns. I went to McLoed for the vinyl. Mcloed didn't have the patterns either.

I wouldn't worry about patterns. I made mine from the old worn out skins. I've never done this before and they turned out great. So if I was able to it, any canvas shop can.

I just got the short block back from Wesco Racing Engines. The heads are AFR 265 ovals.

$800.00 that includes new skins from McLeod on the arm rests of both bolsters. IMO I got a great deal on them
