Thank you for posting this! I was going back and forth on whether to save the seats in my 1957 trailer and you inspired me to try to save them!

Very Cool! Thanks for letting me know - I would love to see pictures when you are done! Have you set up a blog for your trailer restoration yet? - if so, please comment back with the address?
Best,
Rusty
