    well i got a original 73 last week and took every part off of it{exsept for the frt bumper eeek!} and got some sweet blk ribbed buckets and rust free seat tracks to go into my car.the back seat is mint and all i have to do is fix a rip in the drivers seat.i also got a good rear bumper,tail lights,rear winsheald,and all the trim.well i have two qwestions. first how do you soften vinal so i can sit in the seat with out ripping them to shreads?
    second i found a little defroster box in the back window i took it, and the defrost plate off the dash. the swich assembly was toast.butt the box works and it only has a cracked corner on the side of the vent cover.i dont need it but how much is it worth? iv never seen one? are they a rair option?
