I bought bucket seat foam once and it was stiff as a board and put my head up in the headliner. (almost needed a roof hatch).

is their anyone out there thats making correct foam thats soft and puts you in the seat correctly?

so, I take it no one is making the correct stuff.

I had the same problem when I did mine, but the seat foam "settles" after a little while and I can now drive my car with a cap on again.

I got mine from NPD, they were about 200 a pair, I understand you want the more expensive set,they fit the upholstery better. jim

I got new foams for mine when I did it 8 years ago, not happy with them at all. They don't fill in the material. I would just have an upholsterer do it. That's what I did when I had the seats for the 69 done, 100% happy with them.

American Cushion Industries is the brand everyone says is the best. NPD sells this brand and they are the cheapest. I know there is a place Indiana that sells American Cushion, so if they are close to you then you could avoid the shipping. I found a post that had a toll free number for American Cushion so I called them. This was only about a week ago. They gave me 4 places to purchase. The place in Indiana ( I don't remember their name, but I did call them ) a Pontiac place in New Hampshire or Conneticut, the Paddock and NPD. The shipping is oversized for these so it is a little more exspensive. I think even with shipping NPD was just a couple dollars more than the place in Indiana wanted just for the cushions.

Was the place in Indiana called Harmons Restoration Parts?

Yes that is it.

The Paddock is also in Indiana.

Hinshaws sells the ACI cushions, Their latest catalog lists them at $100 per seat or $190 for the pair... cheaper than NPD?

I used the foam from American Cushion for my 65 buckets. They definately are not hard. I would say they don't fill the seat or covers enough. If I had to do it again I think I would have some new foams made locally.

So. who all has ACI seat foam and whats your opinion of it?

I use the ACI seat foam. Fits good, no trimming, is soft and makes a nice comfy seat. Cost about $200 for a set but is worth it, the cheaper stuff need trimming to get it to fit right.It's a PITA job to fit.

I have the ACI cushions, they are much better then the one's I tried from Ground Up. It's been a few years but the price from both places was around $70 per seat. Mine are still comfy and I get loads of compliments on a do-it-myself job.
