Seat foams

[justcruisin]

Anyone know where to get front seat foams for a 71 R/T, I asked Legendary but they said - nope.

They list 3 kinds for 70-71 E B A body but, I asked around for 70's also. Time to call them myself I guess!

Hey justcruisin  I'm in the same boat and I have search all over for new seat foams but they dont make 71's? Apparently the 71's have a one year only seat foam style even though the 71-73 Cuda Challenger looks the same there not. The Legendary Rep at Moparfest told me that we have to use regular block foam from a upholstery dealer and carve out our own I dont think it will be too big of a job and I'm trying it myself this winter when I replace my seat covers. I'll post my success and probably failures as I go

It's real easy to do.  Use an electric meat carver to do it quick and easy.  If you lob off too much you can even stick it back with contact cement.   

Usually you can start with an existing seat foam that's a bit bigger than what you need but I wouldn't know which type fits that bill.

I think you can get different firmness foam when you do it that way too, no?

Great Scott - lets know how you go, any tips much appreciated.
