UPDATE! toucans 59 ford interior

picked up the first installment of awesomeness from the prince of pleats and all i can say is ,it is beautiful!

 

we need pix!!!

 

here are some pix ! the lap of luxury.

 

stylin, profylin and low riden!!!!

 

looks good, bo! you're good mr. beachbum.

 

thanks mr weird... its been a fun project

 

we have carnage...

 

After i replace the broken springs, I will install paper covered wire across the seat springs (green line). The paper covering allows the wire to slide freely. The wire will help tie everything together and distribute the weight evenly. I will show pics of the springs and wire when I receive them and also show how I install them. Then the whole seat area is covered with burlap and padding. Stay tuned.

 

Man you two have this going on. Jim that look killer and toucan that look great in your ride and I really like the color. you two keep this going and jim will be working full time. see you guys later.

 

man i couldnt have the little ole lady from pasadena, i get the giant spring breaking guy from johnston sc! glad i got mr beachbum to make it right,i had the seat stuffed with beach towels!

 

Jim,I am next in line

 

there really was a beach towel

 

I will be ready Andy.

 

Great work Jim, keep the pics coming. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Great work. My 59 edsel front seat is laying in my garage at this moment and I really dont know where to start. The foam is brittle as heck and so is the seat area.
I will be looking forward to see how this should be done.

 

looks great,
Where are you getting replacement springs, I have several broken and weak ones in my ElCamino seat.

 

Lookin damn good!!

 

thanks guys!!! as far as the springs go, this is what I got. You have to form them yourself but its easy. They come in 24" lengths.

Seat Springs... Sorry about the pics, my camera is acting crazy. From top left corner going clockwise. 11ga backrest spring. 9ga seat bottom spring. Synthetic burlap. Spring clips. Paper covered wire.

 

Looks like they also carry the springs on a roll.
Great link. Thanks

 

installing new springs. I used the spring clips to hold the broken springs together at the break.(red circle first pic) I then laid the 9ga spring on top of the old spring and clipped them together. I installed clips where both springs met.(not pictured). I then used paper covered wire(second pic) to run across the seat. This helps to distribute the weight. I had more pics but cant seem to download. Will try later.

 

the other two pics

 

you my friend just keep doing topnotch work!

 

hows that seat frame?looks like a little rust but looks solid!
