Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
I was afraid you was going to say that. My upholstery guy said that is too much to make work. Guess I will have to order a cover that I don't care for too much. Oh well. Thanks for the info!!!

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
Just finished up an 81-87 Saddle Tan Seat with NEW FOAM. This one is SOLD and will be on its way to Wyoming. The minor wrinkles will fade once it spends a day soaking up the hot sun.
First time using a new foam. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a good experience. Just like all the other seats I do, frame and tracks were sandblasted & repainted. Any broken springs are replaced with new. Hinge garnishes are new and painted to match the upholstery.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
I'd like to know if you get more into the 71 & 72 bench seats. I'm interested and I have a decent core.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
I don't see them at all. The one I did, had to be scrapped, it was rusted too bad.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
Thanks!! I hope so, I'm really nervous about working on something I'm not familiar with.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
You weren’t familiar with the bench seat the first time you tackled that either.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
Your right, I wasn't. I know I need to try something different, I get asked a lot.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
Got the tracks done. They were seized up bad, couldn't even get them to move. Well they do now!!
Tried to load a video, showing how easy the tracks slide. Not sure how that works, loading a video.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
Just got back all my frames and the GTO bucket frames from sandblasting. I have a friend that does them for me, when I have a lot that needs done. All the frames are from the seats in post #96.
The buckets, I posted a before and after pic.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
Let me ask, do you have any direction on how to get the belt protector 'cups' on the upholstry in a good way? Mine were not put on very well from the start and are trying to come off the seat. The little teeth inside never seem to grip well. Do I have to take the hog rings off and re-do them and then put the cover back on, or can I do it with the cover on in some way?

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered
Or the retainer is broke. It's better with the cover off, before I install the cover. I use a butt end of a plastic part removing tool. That way I can push that retainer on as tight as it will go. And that's easier when it's laying out flat on the table, with the underside of the cover facing up.
