Thanks again guys!
Here is what has been going on for the last couple days.
The hoodliner was delivered and I ordered another one b/c it's just not big enough to cover the hood the way I want so I ordered another one so each covers half. Some body work on the aftermarket bumpers I bought, they were a little uneven at the sides and a little wavy, but now she’s perfect and primed. The hood got 2 coats of primers as well, along with the hinges (notice the elongated holes).
Well the pics will explain themselves …

Little bit of progress, The bottom of the hood and the hinges have been sanded and ready for copper paint tomorrow. Obviously the bottom won’t need much paint other then the perimeter not being covered by the hoodliner, but the center will get a light hit of copper to protect the primer. Hit the repaired bumper brackets along with some other rusted areas on the front undercarriage with some rubberized under coating. Also started taking apart the driver seat, but I ran into a road block…How the hell does the arm rest come off? If anyone has done the covers on these seats please enlighten me. Boss?
Well here are some pictures of what’s going on….

I still need to finish up the edges with some dynamat finishing tape but for now the hoodliner is in. I ended up only using 1 hoodliner, but I will keep the 2nd for when the engine swap comes, so I can line the firewall with it.

Damn copper, you're as **** as me man...

If I remember correctly....I think arm rests are held on by some sort of clip, so I think you have to get behind the leather in the backrest. You can do that by pulling out the bottom and using a tool to reach in and unhook it. To put the arm rest back in, you can clip the clip on with a little lube and pop the rest back in after you put on the leather and the arm rest cover
