Road race and significant other bench seat

Is that your seat? Looks like you put some bolster's in the seat back?

Been kind of daydreaming on this after seeing the image Ddaddy put up. In my mind, I would almost see it as integrating a true bucket spring and bolster setup into the bench on the driver's side, on the bottom. Leave the back alone other than adding bolsters. But the bottom would be the tricky part in my mind. The rest of the bench seat bottom should remain as stock, but stopping where the driver sits. Not sure how easy that would be.

Part of my thinking is, it seems like most bench seat bottoms are kind of bouncy and give too much. So it seems like the bottom would have to be rebuild to give real support.

Ddaddy probably has this all worked out, though.:D

Yes. That's the seat in my car going from the first attempt to the second attempt.
After that photo, the seat backs were redone again. This mostly addressed the problems I mentioned.

If the construction of the bottom is the same type as mine (used through '70 after that I don't know) then lack of firmness may be a broken of disconnected spring. There are clips that tie the springs together. Original uphosltery used a burlap type material and dense cotton batting. Seating support should be quite firm. Latteral support is of course minimal.

Might be better off starting with a pair of buckets and having a fixed middle 'seat' section made with matching material.
