One Seat Done!!!

Disassembled the seats down to the frames. I figured as long as I was putting new foam and webbing in, I might as well do the whole seat. Sanded the frames and primed and repainted areas that needed it. The foam and webbing were easy, but getting the back stiffener glued and in proper place was a little more fun. With the seat separated, I began to have lots of fun! I had no idea how the leather was going to fit over the seat back with the stiffener made of art board. Ended up putting a piece of plastic over the top of the back and then pulling it onto and over the back. Half-way down it tightened up and took me a couple of hours to get the seat back and bottom on properly. Lining up the "pleats" was the biggest trick and it just took lots of pushing and pulling to finally get it right. Headrest was easy money.

Yes, I did have to sit in the seat when completed and it was well worth the effort!!!!! Totally different feel and the leather was a nice touch with the looks and feel. On to the passenger seat.....

Well, I've got the interior out of the car (mostly) and started work on the seats and anything else I can do in the warm inside. My wife is "absolutely thrilled" with me turning the sun room into an upholstery, parts, tool box, and general repair room but......
