Been tinkering with this one on and off for awhile now. Going full rust...maybe over board but I'm having fun with it.

That's a beautiful job on the rust .. looks just right! and, only overboard to the guy that's going to restore it.

Beautiful work on the rust.  I'm sure you are also going to rot out the bed floorboards.  I mean that much rust, those wood floors would be gone.

Not sure if I'm gonna go back and do the wood bed. Something I should have planned early in the build. I didn't plan on going this rusty it just evolved that way. My first rust build so I'm just learning as I go.

Anyway here is the seat.

This looks really great. What you could do with the bed is to add some foliage to it to make it look like it has been out in the woods for so long that something has started to grow on the bed of it. I have acctually seen a small tree growing on the bed of an old VW splitwindow pickup once.

Nice job on the raggedy seats!  What did you use for the foam backing? Not overly thick lie I have seen before.
