Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Update: One bucket seat finished (driver's side). Still need new foam inserts but this will do for now. Local guy down the street has an upholstery shop he runs in his garage. He kinda cringed when he saw how small the pleats were in the factory style bucket, so I gave in and let him use the wider inch pleats (all the same to me). The factory seats were gold, so a previous owner must have put in these black factory seats (which meant the build sheet I found under the rear seat is not correct for this vehicle). The color I chose is "camel", which I prefer over gold.
The guy left out the board that makes a solid feel in the seat back (which I was not happy about). When he does the passenger side, I will make sure he puts it back like the factory had it supported and I'll copy it so I can replace it in the driver's side bucket some day.
