Well, not exactly a rebuild, but I'm installing new skins on the seats from a 1968 GTO.
The foam is in pretty good shape, and under the foam is cotton batting, which is hand sewn to burlap (which is deteriorating), then another layer of burlap under that, and of course springs on the very bottom.
Is there another way to re-do this, or should it be done as original? Also, I can't get any batting that looks like that locally, can I just use polyester batting?
Thanks in advance!
