[QUOTE="AMD[H]unter, post: 6157471, member: 62604"] Hey guys, I finished the RSD today, and I took pics along the way. It wasn't all that hard, but getting my templates right was the hardest part, but since I have them now, I can duplicate mine easily. The only supplies needed were the carpet and the plywood. I used 1/2" plywood, but I could have gone with 1/4". It's ok with me though because the whole shebang does weigh less than the seat anyway. Here's the pics of most of the process: After creating my template and tweaking it (background piece), I am sanding the edges of the plywood: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3725.JPG[/img] Here's a closeup of the curve to get around the armrest that's molded in the interior. I was still smoothing it out when I snapped this pic: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3726.JPG[/img] Another shot of the template and work area.

Also, the test fit of the back section with the headrest in place: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3743.JPG[/img] Another view from the driver side: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3744.JPG[/img] After covering the back section, test fit it in....perfect again!: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3746.JPG[/img] All done except for the bolts holding the back in. They use the same holes that the seatbacks bolted to the car at: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3747.JPG[/img] Here I am tightening the bolts at the top of the back: (not and easy task getting in and out of the trunk without scratching stuff.) [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3748.JPG[/img] And we are done! I still need to clean the headrest and figure out a way to make it sit down just like it was before. It's not too bad, though, and I am considering just taking it out, but I think it looks cleaner with it in: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3749.JPG[/img] Another shot of the completed project: [img]http://pfomustangs.com/htj/rsd/IMG_3750.JPG[/img] Another shot.
