Weather was cooler this morning so took the time to installed the trunk divider that I made awhile back out of door panel material.
The in was time to untomb the seats and get them installed in the car. This was for two reasons. 1) I needed the floor space back pronto. 2) Now I have somewhere to sit while working on the interior stuff.
These seats are original upholstery and came from '54 Super Clipper that Ross had. Rear seat is pristine, the front seat is good also, but shows a little wear from being 59 years old.
Front seat is a challenge to installed by yourself, and I didnt want to scrape up the floor heater in the process, so I used a 2x4 as a rail to help slide the seat in.
Even with the seat all the way back to fit me, there is still ample leg room. Also now this rear seat out of the Super has an armrest which the deluxe seats do not have.
Once everything was in, I covered them with some "native american" seat covers to help keep them clean while I am working on stuff still.
Also I dug out my fender protector since I will have some underhood work to do soon.
