Re: My long term 57 project

This is not a picture of my actual seat, but it's exactly how mine started.

The only part of the original seat used was the bare metal frame. I did cut approx. 2in from the seat back so that it's not seen through the back glass!

Do you have any more pics of seat frame? Was wondering how plywood is attached to frame?

Just to reduce the seat bottom from "oil canning" flexing.

Late to the comment party but that is excellent. Nice combo with the dash too.
