Dante is great, takes care of his customers very well.... Legendary makes great products, their customer service isn't what it was 20+ years ago...  They are busy making product & getting it out the door, They supply allot of vendors so direct customer sales don't necessarily get the attention the customer expects...

hey, i can imagine what everyone will say, but has anyone seen a Challenger with black interior but white seats?

I really like contrasting colours and especially like purple with white - whether the white is stripes, seats etc

obvioously white door skins look awesome... but just thinking outside the square...

does anyone make replacement seat foams for the 73 Cuda buckets? I see 70/71 advertised but not the later models? My seats are in very good condition and are soft to sit in but I have two rolled up beach towels under both front seats so my passenger and I can see over the hood, I'm 5'10", I sat in a friends restored 70 and the seats were much better, you actually sat on them instead of in them.

yeah, that'll be interesting for me to dconsider if i decide to replace the front.

I am finding it interesting to sit deeper into a car

my Riviera has amazing visibility and you sit quite a bit higher.

the T/A bonnet doesn 't help in this regard...

(not that it's a BAAAAD thing to have such a kick-ass bonnet...)  :droolingbounce:

No, there isn't any replaceable foam for the 73-74 cars.(72 might be the same)  In 72 or 73, the foam changed from being a separate piece, to being molded to the seat frames...or so I've been told.  The only thing you can do is rebuild the existing foam.  The shop that installed my seat covers did a great job at rebuilding mine.  They wrapped the seats in a material that stiffens up the springs.  I used to sag way down into the seat but now it's nice and firm.(a night and day difference)  I'm not exactly sure what material was used to wrap the seats with.  It looks almost like "tarp" material.(woven plastic type stuff)

You can see it here.  These are my 68 Dart seats.

Thanks Burdar, I have seen that material before, I'm sure i can work out something, I think my original foam is just starting to crumble a little so will look at it in the near future.
