I'm in the process of having the seats to my '58 Packard Hawk reupholstered. What I need now is, the foam rubber pads, that are underneath the seat cover itself.
Is there any outlet, or aftermarket company, that reproduces, or sells these pads?
If anyone can help me with this dilemma, I would greatly appreciate it.
Be sure to send us some pix after they are done. Are you going with leather in the original style? Is your upholsterer providing the material? How much is it all going to cost you? What is your location? Inquiring minds want to know.

Welcome to the newsgroup Hogoiler. I checked you out on ebay (you are in Texas) and saw that you really are building a Packard Hawk. You got a hell-of-a-deal on that front pan. Also, are you currently nursing your new baby or are about to have one? Boy or Girl?
Thanks for the seat foam information. Mike, I'll send pictures when it's complete. You've got the car on your list. I guess that electric turkey knife is a key tool for all. Cheers
Hogoiler, Glad to see you found your way on to the NG. You will find these guys are a wealth of information. Some of it is even car related! MikeW
Yes, I'm in Victoria, Texas. New girl 3 weeks ago. "DOC" is doing body, paint work, and sending chrome to Houston.
Thanks guys Steve Barger
Yes, I saw some of your chrome at the shop. I was sure surprised to see some K9 Hawk chrome pieces at the shop that did not belong to me! Your parts are in good hands.
You should join one of our Texas chapters!
