    Thanks. Im learning there are a number of phosphoric acid brands that could do the job but it comes down to how well the metal is prepped that makes all the difference. Thanks again. Your info is very helpful.

    So brand of E-Body Seat cover kit did you buy for your car?

    I have a 71 barracuda convertible and went directly to Legendary Interiors and opted for leather seats. Leather is only available for the front seats so got vinyl in the black. I also purchased the matching seat foam for all seats. They said they will be ready by March 2025

    Ooh, Barracuda

    Nice! From your pic it looks like the interior is all new. Did you piece meal it or did you buy a kit like the one from Dante's? Im looking at replacing everything from the carpet on up. Did you find a great supplier and or one I should avoid.
