We are reconstructing the front split seat, with armrest, for our 64 convertible. We are starting with the metal frame/springs. Anyone have photos/details on the foam /cushion material to get a good shape etc as the base for the new upholstery? Also reconstructing the rear seats as well so any info for them would be helpful as well.

We have the actual finish upholstery being made now.

Thx

Jason,   I found the front  holes, they were under the recovered seat material, Done with all screws tight.

Looks great!

Thanks , Was able to find non rusted panels Finally

Your help is greatly appreciated, next is to replace the convertible top gaskets. Daughter had a  new top put on it last september. Black as nice contrast to the body color .

I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…
