My seats are out getting new upholstery, I stopped today after work and they are done. They were closed but no harm in looking through the windows.

Dont get too far ahead of yourself, paint overspray can and will get everywhere.

I am actually installing everything I know I can remove before paint that I can to minimize scratching to the paint. My Dad told me to put it all together before paint and take it all apart that way you will have a better idea on what to expect upon reinstallation. He has restored over 15 to 18 classics. It was a hobby of his. I already told you guys he worked in a foundry but as a second job he did pin striping (very rare art for cars). really well known in wisconsin. I can post pics if anyone is interested?

Those seats look great. And I would agree, putting everything together for a test fit is a very sound way to proceed. Better finding out any issues now and deal with it then a surprise later.
I'd also love to see some pics of your dad's pin striping. I love that type of work, which is nearly becoming a lost one.
