    I have seen these swivel seats on many old customs. How are they mounted? Are they stable or do they rock back and forth or side to side?

    Thank you Mick, Elcohaulic, 54delray.

    Mick, was great catching up on Sunday. I take inspiration from "Plush and Padded" and appreciate you, and all other posters, keeping it up.

    Great memory 54Delray, spot on correct. I remember meeting you at the Lead Aint Dead a couple of years ago. Hope to run into you again some day. Your Chevy was a beauty.

    Yes, I have been sewing up the interior on my 49 coupe. I wont sidetrack this "thread" with build pics. I will add some updates on doing the interior, to the not frequently updated post I have on the coupe. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1949-chevy-sports-coupe.1022883/
    But the interior is 64 t-bird. I have been doing it myself, learning as I go. If you look back in the plush and padded, here Plush and Padded you will see my 47 Chevy coupe interior that I did. That was practice for the 49 :) On the t-bird seats, for the inserts I used NOS 1962 GM fabric. I kept the pleat lines going all the way thru, from the seat bases/front skirts, across the seat faces and down the seat backs. Homage to how the t-bird has its sew lines, except the t-bird was only on the seat faces. I've done the same to the door panels. Have the rear tray and center console still to do. Anyway, I will update the 49 coupe thread later this week. The interior has taken way longer than I expected, but I am starting to see it come together.

    cheers
