Pressed new wheel bearings into my front hubs and reassembled everything. No bearing play, and the peculiar slight wander the car had appears to be fixed. It feels much more surefooted than before.

Jon's How-To inspired me to repair my passenger seat back, which has been broken since I bought the car 5 years ago.
Here are some before & after shots.

My driver's side is still in good condition, but I may have to freshen it up as well after seeing how the passenger side turned out!

Started tearing down my intake today...degreasing everything and prepping for enamel. Had to evict a lovely rodents nest from under the fuel/air mixer...but it all cleaned up nice!

Adding the foam provided a buffer for the 6mm staple depth. Worked great!

Did about 150 miles this weekend, antique-hunting in the Finger Lakes. Bought a 1956-vintage RCA Victor portable TV and a Nimrod pipe lighter.

Changed the oil, replaced the oil sender unit with a PS133 lifetime model from Auto Zone. The sender doesn't seem to have a continuous range, but instead appears to have steps so the needle doesn't smoothly transition between pressure readings. No biggie, just not expected.
