    Butt or back. Front or back.

  6. This^^^^^^^^^^ is the correct answer unless you want to sit up in the wind like snoopy on his dog house

    Plywood, webbing and good modern foam. Sculpt the back to fit the seat divider

    As I have stated in the past "I live in rural America, it's not the end of the earth but you can see it from here"
    Could someone give me a description or part number for the foam rubber I need? And a source.
    Thank you

    Search Auto-Marine upholstery foam , talk to those who sell it , aside from rigidity there are huge differences in longevity to be aware of .

    I expect you already get the concept, but just to be super clear: When people say "use webbing," they mean cut holes in the plywood seat base to accommodate your*****, and weave webbing over it.
    Here's an amateurish example from when I did it:
