Final progress on seats

The front seats are complete. Danny has finished the upholstery on the front two seats and they look great. The brackets for the seats are also complete. These started with a base of angle iron, but that is not what comprised the final brackets. The brackets were revised after dad built the driver's side. The angle iron option was too complex and did not provide the sturdiness. The final option included 2 inch tube iron with milled notches to accommodate the original brackets of the seats. Now on to the rear seat and interior panels.

More Seat Progress

The progress in the interior is ongoing. Here is the completed driver's seat and work in progress on the passenger's seat.

The completed driver's seat

Pocket on the back of the seat

The original fabric of the seats are used as the pattern for the
new material. The fold-down arm will remain between
the two front seats.

Interior Fabric

This is the bottom portion of the seat.

 The interior is underway. Danny Barger is sewing the new material on the front seats. The rear seat has yet to be determined as to its fit, but we are going to use the original seat with few modifications. The carpet and headliner is also still under discussion.

Interior design

The interior has been mostly decided. Several shades of grey will adorn the interior. The front seats are replaced with bucket seats from a 1992 Ford F-150 extended cab. selecting the seats was somewhat difficult as we needed them to fold forward for rear seat passenger entry. With most passenger cars being four door, few seats will work as many do not fold forward. The F-150 seat fit the requirement. Danny Barger is doing the upholstery work on the car. Here are some of the renderings of what we expect the interior to look like.
