Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[SS427]

As many of you may remember, our front bucket seats were toast. This was from a dog living in the car for a while as well as years of racoon infestation. Needless to say a complete and total rebuild was in order. We started by removing the seat covers, foam, burlap and cardboard stripping the seats down to bare frames. These were then aluminum oxide blasted and (against what I normally do) repainted in silver paint as they were fairly rusty and I did not want to look at that. The hinges were than painted a semi gloss black to match how they were originally done. Once painted they were completely rebuilt and assembled.

All of the hardware was restored, replated or replaced depending on condition. The rear seat was in very good condition but we went ahead and followed the same procedure as the fronts due to the fact that there was racoon piss everywhere and we did not want to deal with that.
