STOKED to make some progress on this thing after FAR too long!
Thanks Webb Custom for laying down our House of Kolor product on the heart of our Roadster Project!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Have you checked out Sutter Street Cruisers new shop truck yet?

All we can say is "Free Candy"🤘🏼🤘🏼

Hoping these angles show off just how much work was done to the rear seat to get it to fit our reshape space and flow overall with the package tray that remains.

The weeks worth of work is all worth while! (Say that five times fast)

We matched up the left to right and then reaffixed to our seat back. Though we still need to refine the whole thing before it goes to the upholsterer, the effort is reflected in the final product.

Last nights progress; trying to get the seat back corners to fit.

We reversed the slides, flipped it over, then sectioned and rewelded it....all that's left is to affix to the seat back itself, and duplicate on the other side.

Here's a before-and-after to-date on our rear seat back modification.

We've.....
-removed the sides (but will modify and reaffix)
-shortened the top 2"
-clearanced the base to allow for our driveshaft and link bars
-cut, rebent, and rewelded the springs

All this to just fit passengers!! Now we know why people build 2-seaters!!!😏

It doesn't look like much, but we removed 2.5" of height from our seat back, to allow it to flow better with our rear package tray.

With the seat bottom in place, it was time to turn our attention over to the seat back.

We started by trimming the sides to fit-next we will reshape the seat itself and add back in the rear bottom, which has been removed to clearance our driveshaft and link bar tunnels.

There's the finished product.

We extended our wrap-around seat base fascia , and added a trim piece at the bottom to give it a finished look. Hopefully it all looks stock once completed.

Before and After.

Similar to the floor of a body drop, we took flat pieces of metal and added to the front of our seat to hide our increased subfloor height.

Once we wrap it around the sides and tie into our original frame, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference.

We squeezed in some time last night to modify our rear seat bottom, getting it to fit better with our newly-constructed floors.

We clearanced for our driveshaft hoop, at the corners for our wheel tubs, and utilized existing framework to create our bolted hold-downs by welding bolts to the floor to secure the base.
