The Ford Barn

Jim Boehmke · 02-14-2014, 06:48 PM

I have a '34 five window coupe.
I have a new BOTTOM seat spring that I will be putting new upholstery on.
I assume the seat spring assembly should be fastened to some sort of wood frame work or a sheet of plywood.
Can anyone show me what this wood frame looks like AND what is the corret thickness of it?
Thanks much,
Jim Boehmke

Oh go to the online store and select 1934 and click search. Scroll through the pages

This photo is 35 but the 34 appears to be nearly the same construction but different size. From memory the wood is 3/4" thick

Terry and Uptown, many thanks for your help on the seat. I'll go into construction mode tomorrow. Ford Barn to the rescue again!

Here are two pictures of my '33 5 window seat. Obviously I've modified the seat, but the metal bottom is original as is the wooden frame for the seat bottom. I did add the center piece of oak in the seat bottom as I'm using foam for the seat support. If you need any dimensions etc., just let me know. BillIMG_8605.jpg
