    Well, now you can. Tony Garcia at Autobahn Interiors is the man. All new except the steel shells, which were restored. Rebuilt tongue-and-groove wood frame bases.

    Just waiting for the rest of it to be finished so I can actually get somewhere while sitting down.

    More to come.

    Wow, I too can attest to Tony's work! Fabulous. Those seats are enough to make grown men teary-eyed. Things of beauty...

    Looks like the originals had a concave seatbase where the new seats are flat; is this intentional or will they break-in over time?

    The leatherwork is beautiful.

    The originals were 55 years old and the padding had deteriorated. Looking at original pics from the 1950s, the seat bottoms were dead flat as shown when delivered.
