Those clips are for the seatbelt buckle. I never have used them.

I went full leather in my 71 using Corvette America covers from Willcox
The difference wth the leather/vinyl version is the sides are vinyl and facing areas leather. This was as said likely for minimising wear. However as you said these are not daily drivers.
just keep in mind full leather does not stretch like vinyl or leather/vinyl mix so the seat back can be a bit harder to fit over, especially with new foams.

Read your thread, love the idea of the Kenwood speaker in the back, I may copy you if/when I decide to add another speaker.
My car is also blue, but has black interior and is a convertible....

Hey Craig...thanks for posting and the recommendation, your seats look great. I plan to order the Wilcox covers today to take advantage of the 20% discount.

have tried lots of stereo ideas but biggest issue is road noise in these cars with side windows down and rear window removed. When I bolt it back together after paint I am going to re do some of the stereo with electronic crossover split mid and tweeter in front via amp and not sure re sub...possibly the kenwood..who knows...I like the look of seeing no stereo so I have thought about building a sub box behind the rear bulkhead between tank and bulkhead.
