Ford Model A Pickup Restoration - Replacement of defective parts bench seat (November 2010)
Currently I am concentrating on the rebuilding of the leather seats.
The disassembly of the seats goes rapidly. Unfortunately, I have noticed that a few springs can no longer be used. Luckily I could find replacements and thus the project is not blocked.
A snapshot of the battle with my seat.
My big centipede - I glued all the old holes with toothpicks.
The seat frame I sanded lightly and then treated it against wood worm and fungal attack. Therefore the seat should last for another 80 years ;-)
The steel frames of the seat and backrest are de-rusted and repainted.
Finally, I've painted all 61 springs with POR15 gray. I let them dry and start with the assembly next month.
