1968 Ford Mustang GT390
ONCE I'D FINISHED restoring some metal parts and reupholstering the front and rear seats in my '68 Mustang GT390, it was at last time to install the new carpets (which I already had 'in stock') and fit the seats to complete the interior.

The rear seat is a carpeted fold-down affair, its two fabricated steel pieces joined by a chromed piano hinge with the reupholstered seat frames attached to them.
