Re: Resurrecting my 56’ Patrician

Waiting on steering parts. So, I am inside the car and way out of my comfort zone or knowledge. I know there are two heater boxes under the front seat, and it is a powered seat (that doesn’t work). Would like to pull it out so I can lay down a few moving blankets while I treat the rusty roof and apply sound deadening. The manual shows the bolt location and the connector; but it also says, “remove cushion.” Does it just lift up or are there clips? Can the back part of the front seat be removed prior to removing the seat from the car? It looks heavy as a whole seat, and it is just me. Any suggestions or tips for resurrecting the power seat. Also, the chrome strips on my door panels have basically fallen off. The bendable tabs that protrude through the fabric and panel are basically rusted away. The chrome looks great just no tabs. Appears as though these were on a strip that was pinched by the outer chrome. Right now, I am contemplating using JB weld to attach some soft metal to the backside of the chrome.
