Foam for bucket seats

[sport fury guy]

For my 67 Sport Fury Vert, I need to replace the foam in the bucket seats, where is the best place to find the foam replacement? I am not having very good luck finding them on the internet.

I don't know if it is the same foam shape as a 68 or so B body. If it is, you can buy them from Legendary Interiors.

If it's not, you'll have to buy the foam and cut it yourself. You can't buy just anything at the local fabric store. Some use a sharp bread knife or an electric carving knife to cut it to shape. Google some different methods and decide for yourself.

This will get you started on foam. Pick the firmness you want, but I think you are going to want at least medium firmness.

This is what I purchased. Ledgendary foam and cotton kits are very expensive. You can buy everything you need individual, for less than half the price. It's all on ebay.
I haven't purchased the cotton batting yet,it is for the seat backs. I'm not to that point yet. If you are replacing the foam ,I would replace the burlap at the same time. Hope this helps.

Start with post #38 in this thread and you'll see what I used. I bought burlap from Hobby Lobby, foam from the source I posted above and then used a Walmart quilt instead of cotton batting. I had read a couple threads on the HAMB were they used something similar. It's a lot easier to work with.
