67 squareback covers from jbug

http://www.jbugs.com/category/101811.html

your either the full highbacks like mine or the squaretop highbacks (there are 2 different squaretop models) but regardless the cut is all the same. Cut off the sidewall (the large steel tubing framing the entire seat) level with the top of the back support springs, see picture below:



then i used 2 1/4" metal rods to reframe the square seat





ziptied them and then a couple tap welds, reupholstered them to snug with some high density foam



its a layering process to get it to form up exactly how you want it

then i chopped my highback seats





custom lowbacks



side by side look at the high vs lows, i love them low look so much more

Got anymore info on this? I wanted to do this to my highback seats but i think mine are different. What covers do you get specifically?

[e39hamann]

Love it!

love the lowbacks

it was an easy job too, little frame fix and just a set of 67 seat covers. One of my favorite mods to this car yet. No highbacks blocking the view through, clean line of site straight thru the car, huge improvement.

I love that this is so clean!! nice work.. Don't get me wrong a nice patina bug is nice, but this is great haha

you and me both, i get just as excited to see a great bug that has been left natural, i love the patina scene, but i had the opportunity to go clean and im very happy

new shoes, stepped up 1" to get stepped lips, fully polished





happy with the camber, tiny bit of rub....so perfect

[DasBohan]

Sits nicely except for the huge positive camber on the front (or is that just the angle of the photos?)

hahaha it's a narrowed beam, it's chopped 4" in to sit it low. if that was positive camber that would be crazy ha, I'd turn the wheel an inch and the car would 90 into a ditch ha
