homemade seat medallion backer plates

[beebest]

Finally found 4 more seat medallions for my 68 RR. One backing plate missing, 2 rusted pretty bad, so I made my own out of a piece of flat galvanized duct work. Bent them up in the vise, drilled holes and used sharp thin chisel to create the tabs. Snapped right on and seated tabs with a small socket and a tap with a hammer. Emblems are recessed just like factory.

Thanks, did all the seats myself. I used Legendary covers.

Second interior like this I have done, still had this cover on and off at least four times until I was satisfied. Oh and a lot of referring to you tube videos.
