1973 Roadrunner Seats (Mod) Restoration

:love4:

I had original seats in very bad shape, bench type and I decided to split that bench and take the Charger 1970 design for my 73 RR.
I also decided to cover all panels with same top quality fake leather, same thing for dash.
Seat metal frame was sanded, primer and painted.

I did close to the same thing on my 74. I've never liked the patterns of the 73/75 seat covers, so I used 71 Roadrunner covers.

Can you post more pics & details on the dash work ? Mine is horrid & I have to do something. TIA.

Sure, let me take more picture of it. I removed the center speaker hole, I won't need it and that part of the design didn't like it.

I totally agree, 71 RR covers look much much better

Bitchin ! I think the dash is an improvement. Did you do it ? If the trimmer did it, what did they hit you for it ?

My dash was totally damaged and cracked, I bought the dash pad cover and I applied some glue on it. I recovered the original shape, then I just covered with this fake leather. A professional upholstery worked on this, I just worked with the dash pad cover on it.
