With all of the metal parts now out for powder coating, plating and chroming, it is time to start in on some the interior restoration. I have never done the seat frame restoration before and just tore these ones down to prep them for the upholstery guy before he sews and patterns the new covers. Planning to blast and paint the frames, install some lower springs, new burlap and fresh cotton before the new covers go on. I've also been experimenting further with Evapo-rust to clean up the rosewood dash parts. This original set had been sitting around for over 30 years. The backs were rusty and the fronts were heavily stained from years of being exposed to various elements. After dunking them for a couple days, the rust is gone and I will now fine sand the back sides and repaint them with black trim paint before I polish the fronts of the rosewood. They should clean up real nice when I am done with them and the seats will look great with new covers going on soon. Keeping my foot on the gas here and trying to get things done before the snow is upon us.

Just wondering? How many of you guys have restored your own seats with deluxe covers and such?
