Upholstery

  • Now on to the most often garbage item to be found in a Muscle Car. The rear seat. These items just rust up overnight and seem to go to hell in a handbasket. I often times have to replace them with another one.

  • In some cases the originals are getting impossible to find. In this case they have to be rebuilt. If you want to talk about work just picture building this spring frame to fit inside your rear seat. Keep em dry.

  • It is a shame but Old Muscle Car Seats SUCK. I can make a much better frame that craddles your butt and does not shove your cheeks together into a bucket hole.

  • Once we have a nice rear frame it is coated the color of the upholstery. Why you might ask. Well in this case they do not want to have the color contrast. I would like it to appear the same color.

  • Before the coating is applied the seat frame is Deburred. To be absolutely truthful Deburring is not a good word. I have to take some nasty Pointed objects off the seats. One time I got punctured good.
