Picked up 3 more benchseats, that will be given a second chance. Time to start stripping them down and making them beautiful again.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
When your out searching for seats do you ever see any headliner panels?

I have the trim, it's the panels that I'm looking for. Even damaged panels.

That blue vinyl seat looks way better then the one in my longbed already..
I wish it wasn't $200+ to ship these suckers. Do you ever cover Suburban high back buckets? Mine came out of an '85 and they have just one armrest. When looking at new covers they never mention the armrests. |

One of my favorite seats is on its way to California. It is a 77-80 Camel Tan Tilting Benchseat, orginal Foam was used, which was in excellent condition.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
That seat looks very nice! I enjoy looking at your finished product...works of art. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! I took that plunge January 12 myself.

Went on a little road trip yesterday, to pickup a couple of seats to be restored in the future. Both are in overall good condition. They will still get stripped down, to replace broken springs & sandblast/repaint the frames & tracks. And then get the tracks sliding like new again. See pics 2-5, this is a perfect example of a poor rebuild on someones part. I bought this seat, it had already been recovered in black "leather". Very nice cover!! But they covered right over a rusty frame. And it also had broken springs on the drivers side, see pic #2. They shoved some kind of foam in there, instead of replacing the broken springs. And the tracks would not slide.

This is the same Black Leather seat, mentioned in the above post. 1st pic is before, the rest are after.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
I'm curious on what you use to repair damaged, missing foam on the backrest portion. I bought both new bottom cushions, but my backrest needs a few spots addressed before I put the covers on. Thanks!

So the seats I got yesterday, the one in the back, by the garage door. It had been recovered at one point. Now this is how you DO NOT repair seat foam. Some of the seats I get, it amazes me of what people do. This is why I started doing Seat Restorations. You don’t spend all that money to get your seat recovered for this!!! Along with the moldy towel stuffed in the huge hole in the foam, everything is rusty and broken springs. So it will get sandblasted, repainted and get the broken springs replaced. I believe a NEW Foam is in order for this seat.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Good plan.
Don't mess with black mold. No way to sterilize foam and be assured all of it is gone. Get rid of it all and start over. Even if you aren't sensitive to it... once you know about it you don't want the liability. That's the main reason to just replace the butt foam. |
