Hey all, Espriman72 is a friend in our local Pontiac Club. I also wanted to ask, back when I was sourcing parts for my 73 TA there was a guy that made new wire mesh for under the buckets seats to replace the original ones. I bought a set and still have them. Brad (Espriman) might need a set too but I don't recall who was doing them. Is he still around? Are those still available?

American Cushion Industries are the best in my opinion. They are sold by a number of Pontiac suppliers. Look for the foam to be stamped with ACI's name, they are worth the little bit more they cost.

Thanks for the recommendations. Pretty sure Brad bought the foam, seat covers etc... from Ames but he can chime in on that.

If anyone is interested in new wire mesh I am still working to get back into contact with the person I bought them from. He was active over at the Trans Am Country forum for years. I bought mine in 2009. If I find he's still around and still able or willing to sell them I'll post pics of mine and contact information with his consent of course.
