This is what the rear end looked like with the chrome bumper off.  The car was hit in the early 70s.  They would not straighten the metal just fill in the dents with gallons of bondo and bronze solder to plug the holes. 
     Dean cut out the bottom of the rear end.  He then welded in a new rear end panel as you can see.  The trunk floor had to be reattach to the panel.      Also remember the gas tank is right there.                   We went down to the metal.  Now it is all metal with very little fill.  All those gray spots are the welding of the trunk floor.   

 I pulled both the seats out and stripped all the material down to the frame.

You are looking at a forty-one piece of foam.

We brought the frames to be sandblasted.  $120 and two cans of Rustoleum later, we were ready to assemble the seats.  But first, we had to go back to the catalog to order parts.
2 seats webbing with hooks  $29.95
1 seat foam set L. side         $79.95
1 seat foam set R side          $79.95
2 headrests assemblies         $79.95

I still have to order the vinyl covering whick runs $399.99 on sale. I saved $18 by using the old cardboard seat stiffeners.  More to come.
