This past weekend, my son and I participated in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race, in Stanton Michigan.

I've noticed for as long as I can remember that Legendary Auto Interiors sets up a booth for display there.

For at least the last 4 years, I've wanted to go talk with the Legendary people, regarding their considerations to make the 1970-72 turtle back seat foam. In the past I always got sidetracked, but this year I dug in and a friend of mine and I went over to talk with them.

Great news... This project has been in their development pipeline now for a few years. They are going to start offering it (upper and lower, driver and pass. side) with projected availability in December 2017.   

They are readying a display of it, that they will feature at the upcoming SEMA show, where with the cooperation of a friend and forum member I alerted (who is attending SEMA), we might get an early glimpse.

I asked the gentleman if it was OK to put this out on a Forum I frequent. He was very much OK with it.

I know this is a sorely needed product, and will be welcomed by AM Nation!

Perfect timing! I was actually planning earlier today where to buy sheets of seat foam for my '72. Since Legendary didn't make it I figured I would have to cut/form it myself.

By the way, SEMA is in Las Vegas Oct 31 - Nov 3, and our Las Vegas AMC show is November 3 and 4.  Might be a good reason to do both.

I wonder if they will be offering a show discount?

Once received, I wanted to post this info asap for just that reason. So people who need them now or in the not to distant future, can plan for their availability.

Yup great news. Early this year would have been better when I had my seats
"re stuffed" in an effort to fill the seat covers...

Great news!  And you know why they're becoming available?
Because I just paid through the teeth to have new custom foams built for the turtle backs in my Gremlin.
(cuz, y'know - it's all about me.)

That's my luck though.

Are they ever going to consider the 73-77 bucket foams?  There's a boatload more of them!

Legendary just confirmed to me that they have finished the tooling and hope to have the seat foam on the market by the end of this month!
