Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

Just put together a fully restored Blue Velour Deluxe BenchSeat. This will be packed and heading to Texas. Here’s a close up of the frame, springs, tracks and foam. Everything gets sandblasted of the surface rust and repainted. Tracks are chemical dipped to remove rust, then relubed. They slide, and look new! A good original foam is being used on this seat. Springs & grid are all tightened. All the plastics have been cleaned & restored also.
There’s been some discussions on some of the FB Groups concerning seats being recovered. My thoughts are on the subject, if your going to pay out that kind of money, you should get more than just a pretty new cover. These seats have a lot of issues hiding under that cover, and I address them. One being the rust! I ask, would you take your truck to paint and just have them put a pretty new paint job on it, without fixing the rust? Well I would hope not, because the rust will just continue to grow. All that money & time is just going to go to waste.
