The Ford Barn

I’m working on my 29 roadster. Essentially I have an empty tub, with the steel seat pan. I was hoping someone had photos of the original seat wood, and how it fits in the car. Along with some photos of any of the wood on the 29

Thanks

The seat back frame work and the wood cross brace on the lower seat riser is about it for a roadster. There are five or six clips that are reproduced that hold the seat springs and the rear seat back cushion support wood. The belt rail wood holds the top of the seat back cushion supports.

The roadster was the least expensive car Ford made then so they were very simplistic. The rear seat cushion was all tacked in so it was not quickly removable. The lower cushion just sets in the riser frame lip to hold it. The Coupes had more wood than the roadster in 28 and 29.
