Hey all,
Does anyone know a good way to restore my rear seat for my barracuda? The bench seat rear has new covers but inside the springs and "padding" are getting pretty ratty. Is there a kit like front seat foam they sell somewhere?

Thanks!

Typically the rear seat foam is just flat foam, sometimes a little sculpting is done by the upholsterer but mostly the shape is in the foam sewn into the cover.... As fas a the springs I have them blasted & powdercoated...

Uh, no... Then what would I do for seats? Besides unless your working on a 66-70 B body vert these seats wouldn't fit.... Good luck with your project but go get your own seats...

Thanks for the nice words & gotcha on your spring! :-D. I'll guess I'll start working on mine soon enough.
