After yet another delay, I have finally been given a date for the seat covers: September 5th! With any amount of luck, I will have them back here that weekend and I can FINALLY finish up the seats.
While waiting I have finished up porting the heads and sent them off to the machine shop to prep them for installation. I have also finished the driver's side header and will hopefully knock out the passenger's side before the seat covers get back. Starting to feel like I might hear the motor run soon...
More to come as I have it ready.

No Seat Covers, Yet ...
I just called the upholstery guy back and heard that it will be another 2 weeks before he can START them! Grrrrrr! At least the bucket frames are ready to assemble. I just picked up some new padding to run on top of the foam which is supposed to offset any flattening in the foam.
I will fully prep them for covers this weekend so when the covers are actually done it's just a matter of putting them on.
In the meantime I will work on wrapping up some of the other projects (adjust shifter linkages, finish headers, etc.) so it will be ready to go when they get here.
Here are a couple pics of the finished seat frames:
