Guest DatsuNoob Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Gonna go pick up a pair of roadster seats this morning, and was wondering if we have any upholstery dudes in our midst? Any leads would be nice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I used to make custom office/computer chairs but mostly just shaped the foam pads for seats and backs. I tryed to get some of the extra foam when it shut down, I wanted to redo my Z seats in memory foam :D Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Went to go look at those roadster seats this morning, friggin shithouse!!! Those things were so far gone, I had to pass. Tracks were corroded and frozen, seat backs were stuck, ripped through, etc. So I guess I wont be needing the services of an upholsterer any time soon :lol: Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I took a passenger seat apart out of a 89 240sx. I bought a piece of foam to add foam to make the seat more shapely and comfortable. I don't know exactly how to start shaping or what to use to cut it. The bottom is pretty rusted but I'll just paint it and just use this as a first try kinda thing. Quote Link to comment

I have a buddy that does upholstery, he uses a electric carving knife to shape the foam. U can find them at used furnishing stores. Quote Link to comment
