Rebuilding spring seat foam on a dime !

I'm rebuilding some '67-'68 folding seats this week for my farm truck build and another to sell and after media blasting and painting the frames semi gloss , I wrapped the springs with burlap and hog rung in place then added a 2" strip of carpet padding to the edge wire also hog rung in place after that I added a 4 ' wide angled wedge glued to the outside edge of the seat to stop that leaning toward the door feeling you can get on these old seats and it really helps you sit better in the seat after that a firm 1" flat stock sheet cut to fit and glued down and wrapped around the seat edge about 4 " , I've used this same process for many years and it works great . No expensive foam replacement and total cost was less than $20.00 .
