I agree withe Keith. If water is in the foam, it'll be all of eternity before you get the mold smell to go away. I bought some original seats and tracks for my 64 Falcon convertible and they sat inside for 4 years before I took them apart. They still weren't "dry" and they still smelled. I took them down to the frames, sandblasted them, and painted them. You might do the same thing at some point...

New turn in the battle with the seats.... me and Cory went on an all out assault

All cleaners have FAILED to get them compeletly clean I have a seat repair man coming this way tomorrow morning to dye them for a 125 bucks. ( he has to drive 40 miles) So the question is what is my original seat color these are a shade off.

I got the foam bleached and airing out I am not putting much into them since they won't be used that much. Though I would LOVE to trade my front bench for some bucket seats.

Dang dude, you sure are persistent and it paid off. Seriously, I would have given up a long time ago.

When I spend my money I am going to get what its worth. Tried everything didn't work so I resorted to the dye. I figure 250 dollars in a rear storage area and extra seats its well worth it to me. I might get most of that back out of my rear bench.

Nice. The best feature about those rear seats is that the back lays down flat. That's the only thing I miss about having a rear bench.

Those look really good in person, the fronts match perfectly. The baby doll is a nice touch as well. That back seat is a heavy mother though isn't it.
