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.

I do all the tracks and hardware in my own cabinet. And then they too, get repainted. |

Any seat foam that needs repaired, will get repaired.
In some cases, a new seat bottom foam will be used. Rebuilt kits are also used. |

Have a friend at work that asks me to do his GTO Bucket seats. He has already bought everything. New covers, trim parts, springs, and foam. He just needed someone to tear them down and rebuild them. So I am going to sandblast his frames & tracks before rebuilding them. These seats were nothing but Giant mice nests!! Got everything torn down

Started sandblasting today. The ball bearings were rusted, so tracks didn’t even slide. They do now!!

You weren’t familiar with the bench seat the first time you tackled that either.

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. |

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?
