Seat Frames, Etc...

Lotsa miscellaneous work done today on a beautiful spring-like April day. Pulled out some old wiring that's been hanging on like a bad cold in June to the frame, pulled out the oil bath air cleaner and oil filter assembly to prep for paint. (PS. Does anyone have an idea of where to come up with that particular orange on the oil filter canister?)
I was going to go after the gauges in the dash, but didn't feel like standing on my head this afternoon, so that'll wait.
But got the few last rusted in screws out of the driver's seat frame and the covering and old stuffing from the passenger's. Took the old HF 20 buck cheapie grinder to them to get the worst of the surface rust off. Then I got them primered with a couple of coats of Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer. Still have to figure out how to unattach the old seat cusion pad from the seat pan.

Before:

The driver's side dime sized rust through. The passenger's side is a bit on the thin side with a jagged edge that needs to be cut out too.

After:

Primed seat frames
