Car is 69 GTX. I have new seat foam and covers from Legendary. I intend to have a professional put everything together. I want to treat/paint frames, springs, etc. If I tear down the seats, front and rear, to bare metal and treat/paint, will an interior person be able to put all back together? Is there something I need to know about in advance? Thanks

I always media blast and powdercoat the seat frames both front and rear. As for the seat tracks, I would not completely disassemble but would media blast and paint them black.

I asked for my my frames back to media blast and paint. The trim guy was glad I brought the seats in before disassembly so he could see how everything went together is what he told me.

Yes there is something I need to know in advance or yes a pro trim guy can put back together?

Snap a few photos as you tear them down, save all the old upholstry so if he has questions it's covered... I took my bare powder coated frames, new foam & new covers to a guy that has been doing upholstry for years, told him I had the old stuff & pictures if he wanted/needed them.. He laughed & said don't worry about it.. Then he showed me pictures of his personal 68 Coronet.. I was in good hands.. & he was impressed that he got to work on such nice pieces instead of the crusty junk most guys bring him...
