Good point on the top, didn't consider to sync. I will look around for a seat base. Thanks a ton.

Has anyone tackled converting the convertible and seat hydraulics to electric? Not a requirement but I'm building from frame up and would prefer to lose all hydraulics altogether.
Any help appreciated.

Windows are electric actuators in this 63. Driver seat and top are hydraulic.
This was a barn find, a leaky barn, not on road since 75. Pretty much a home for cats and owls, top was ripped so this took on a lot of water on the driver seat.
Gutted to frame, just sandblasted and getting metal work cleaned up. I've blasted every part on this car that unbolts. I figured dump hydraulic, but I think I will keep the top hydraulic as is after reading above.
Car has every bell and whistle made, 401 with dynaflow I think. I'll pull that out in next week or two. My guy said only 6 with that configuration were made in 63, so I will see what it is soon.
Looks like a lot of work, but fun.
