Seat Work

Took some trim pieces that need re-chroming to Quincy yesterday. Took them to Precision Plating. Old fella Named Bill (about my age) owns and runs the place. Heard good reviews about the place. Very interesting guy. You wouldn't believe all the different stuff they plate. Looks like 5 to 6 weeks lead time. Will take a picture when I get them back.
Meanwhile, been working on the seat springs. Took a while to get both the seat and back stripped of the cover and batting underneath. Found 5 broken springs. Ground a trough in some 1/4 inch bolts about 2 inches long and used them to strengthen the welds.  Sandblasted both seat and back. Then a coat of primer and a coat of metallic silver paint. None of it will be seen later after it is reupholstered. Ran out of paint, so have to finish painting the back springs. Then The back springs need to be reattached to the back frame.
Now I have to go tackle those two small filler pieces between the rear of the front fender and the running board. Been procrastinating on that as it is on the floor, on the back work. Shouldn't take too long hopefully.
