Re: {Chrysler 300} Seat foam

[Ryan Hill <ryan_hillc300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Years ago I worked with Legendary to have them reproduce the leather seats in my ‘65 300 Sport. They sent me a set of seat foam backs and bottoms. They are somewhat universal and are made to fit a number of applications. (60’s C body)

I had them installed and the upholsterer commented they could have just made them up in the shop for less. My driver seat bottom was disintegrated but the passenger side could easily have been used as a model to make a new one. 

My advice, talk to your upholstery shop first before shipping huge boxes of foam across country. Take lots of detailed photos of how the seats should look. Print them out and give them to the upholsterer, if you aren’t doing it yourself.

My upholstery guy had to do some trimming of the foam before installing the new Gary Goers leather interior, but that seemed normal.  Google coughed up this site: https://www.jegs.com/p/Legendary-Auto-Interiors/Legendary-Auto-Interiors-Seat-Foam/3126457/10002/-1    Check it out and let us know.

> We are removing the brittle crumbling seat foam from a set of seats and are wondering if anyone has a suggestion for foam sheet/block material for use in 63/64s?  Looks like about a 2” thickness, and the modern foam is available in a variety of densities.   Only the bottoms are hard and crumbling; the backs seem ok.  We are planning to remove the hog rings and then the whole seat bottom cover looks like it will slide off towards the front.  Didn’t see a tech article on the site about seats so any learned wisdom is appreciated.
