Buy once, cry once. If you get parts to save money, you will not be happy and they will get replaced eventually. Buy what you want even if it costs more.
Be cautious of restoration parts. Quality is not always great so do your homework or buy oem. Especially turn signal switches.
It was not a factory option in 1964. However, Mopar flogged this setup over the parts counter through the '60's. I remember having a "Hustle Stuff" (precursor to Direct Connection) catalogue in 1969/1970 that still showed the 2 X 4 setup on the front cover. I put it on a RB in my 1964 Polara 500...
It is really not all that difficult if your old seat covers are intact enough to cut them apart for patterns.
I spent more time restoring/repairing the rusty old seat frames than I did on the new covers. Go for it!
I put a new fuel pump in my van. It has been sitting and the crappy gas destroyed it. It was a real joy to do laying on my back. I put fresh gas in it,and it fired up and is running great. I put my foot on the brake and it blew a brake line,back on my back again tomorrow!
Something I always see is people buying reproduction parts that DON'T FIT. Do your research as many parts out there look right but when you go to use them years later they don't fit or last for that matter. Many others have already used them or tried and failed so it doesn't hurt to ask BEFORE...
Ed, so glad you caught this before disaster.
This is why I bought my own tire machine and balancer. No more having idiots wreck my nice stuff.
I do my own front end alignments also. Others just fudge it up and tell you it's as good as old cars get.
