Custom Seat Delete

I’ve had this for a couple of years but never took good pictures. There are a few more in the gallery with some photos of the sound deadening base application. As a Chef, I often have to haul a lot of groceries so this really helps.

tell us more that does look good, interesed how you did it and what the cost is. I have been considering the other rear seat delete but I am not 100% sold on removing the back seat yet.

The carpet padding is from Home Depot; the insulating material and auto carpet is from an upholstery supplier. Cost is, well, who knows because I tried a few different materials before I found something that wouldn’t smell like aviation fuel during summer temps. I made some templates/patterns and put the scissors to some carpet. A look at the gallery will reveal it’s a composite consisting of different layers. Some of it for sound deadening and absorption, another for a thermal barrier, and the cover carpet to match the stock interior.
