1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

Seats look better in those pictures than in the stock photos.

I was kicking around the idea of doing the same - throwing out the bench and going with buckets - but elected to keep the bench for originality.

After seeing your pics of the 90s, I'm kind of wishing I hadn't already dropped off the bench to get reupholstered...

Looking good man!

I went back and forth myself. But figured I might spend a fair amount just to have the bench torn apart to replace the foam and still have the current upholstery. It's not that the upholstery is bad necessarily on the bench. Just not crazy about it. So like with anything, I've found that I may as well spend a little more and get what I want rather than paying a little less now and not be as happy with it, only to end up buying what I really wanted later. But they have a nice feel to them. Good lumbar support, not too soft on the cushion, not too firm.
