When it comes to bench seats out of a late 60's pickup that has wire, coils and springs and all kinds of other crap I'm clueless. That's the only reason I'm asking. I have seen all too often that there's always somebody who knows a quicker and cheaper way to do something, and it's always wise to ask before you embark on such an endeavor - especially when the comfort of your ass is involved

Sorry, I assure you I wasn't trying to be offensive or rude with my reply on how to "cheaply" do the foam. It's more work to do it with a carving knife and upholstery glue, but it costs like .... a few bucks, versus a few hundred bucks.

I have moderate upholstery experience from home remodelling. That's how I know about the foam + electric turkey carver trick. They actually sell a proper "foam cutting knife" out there, but good ones are expensive and not worth it unless you plan on reupholstering a complete Suburban or something.

I've never worked with anything other than wood frames, staples, screws and foam, though. Maybe a few "wavy wires", but othe than that, I'm clueless.
