Re: What do you think of my Buddy Buckets

Looks great. I'm considering which seats to use in my 69's interior overhaul and yours gives me a nice example to choose from. Thanks.

I do have one safety caution though. Those heater wires (if you're planning to leave them where they are, running between the springs and the foam) are a "fire in the making" (IMO). I see they're fused, and that may help if a problem erupts downstream of there, but the insulation on the wires ahead of the fuse is going to wear against the spring and eventually short out. When it does, you've got heat, fuel, and oxygen all as bed-partners.

My two cents, but I'd find a way to re-route and protect all that wiring a little better.

Thx again for the pics.
