Hey guys,

I recently bought the AMT 1950's Chevy 3100 it's a nice little kit, about 1/3 way done and noticed I am missing the back for the Bench seat(didn't get it in the kit). But anyways, I didn't wanna go through the hastle of the replacement part program and was wondering if you guys have any ideas how to go about making some bench seats?

Make a paper template for the seatback, and then cut it from plastic sheet. The cushion can then be made from a two-part putty such as Milliput, sanded and shaped to match the seat. Texture if needed with facial tissue and paint.

Exactly as Dave said. Or if you don't feel comfortable making your own, there are always several on Ebay for pennies.
