29 coupe seat frames

Sidevalve,
The rumble seat did not use any spring frames. The two upholstered seat springs fasten directly to the trunk platform and to the lid. If you are referring to the front cushion, it does use a wood frame. I built a new frame for my 28 special coupe (same frame as a 29 sport coupe) from an original (rough) frame a friend gave me. You can order the frames from most model A parts places for $90 to $100 plus shipping. I bought one and returned it as the quality was not a good as I wanted. Hope this helps.

Yes, the back rest uses a skeleton frame which uses much less wood than the cushion wood frame. I have some pictures of the two wood frames I made a couple of years ago, before I stained them flat black. It took a lot of time to make the frames exactly like Ford did. I will try to post them in this quick reply, but no guarantees. It is much easier to attach pictures to emails. There are some brackets you need that are not difficult to make, that is what I did. If you need pictures of the brackets or other things, let me know. My email address is: wrndln@hotmail.com.
