I didn't ask about that and he didn't say so.
They used that horsehair/burlap material between the seat springs and foam in '70. Here's what my original rear seats look like. I'll have to check the fronts -Steve- |

Here are my freshly upholstered 1972 seats with Legendary upholstery and their new foam. The foam is not super firm like most modern cars are, but it feels good and is a huge improvement over the old worn out foam I had. I no longer need to sit on a pillow and the seats are quite comfortable. The upholstery lady said that both seats had a broken outside spring, which she repaired. I see a few places where the upholstery is a little puckered, but I'm hoping that those will go away once the seats sit in the sun for awhile. It's been pretty cool here lately, though it did get up to 70 degrees here today. Edited by CamJam - Dec/29/2017 at 5:50am |

Those look nice! "It's been pretty cool here lately, though it did get up to 70 degrees here today. " WOW, how that temperature is a relative thing - the high here in sunny Ohio was a frigid 15°! I'm sure glad I invested in radiant floor heat in my shop when I built it because it's 70° in there.

Yeah, all the storms have been going north of us this winter and it's supposed to be warm here all week. We normally start getting winter storms after Thanksgiving, but I don't think we've had any rain now since September! I'm at 3,400 feet and it gets into the 20s at night, but normal daytime temps here this time of year are usually in the 50s and 60s.

Thanks guys. Interior looks good now but exterior still needs some work. As anyone who has visited a car advertised on EBay or Craigslist knows, photos definitely have a way of making a car look better than it is.
