I am going to redo my 68 seats. I actually have the buckets out of a 69 camaro. I am not puuting the headrests on. I ordered the 68 deluxe seat covers but not the cushions yet. I heard American Cushion makes the best foam but they don't list 68 deluxe. Has anyone got the cushions elsewhere? How do they hold up?

Have you asked Earlybirds in Toronto,Ontario? They should be able to give you some advice on what to use.

The Ames catalog lists the 68 custom interior seat cushions specifically. Item is number FA140B but is not made by ACI. They are priced at 129.00 pr. Sounds like ACI is really the way to go and for 20 bucks more as Thomas has shown above it's worth the bit extra for a better seat in the long run

I got mine from Classic Ind. and they were '68 deluxe. I had the upholstery shop just rebuild the back seat as I couldn't fine replcaement there.

I have both deluxe and standard seats on hand.Now mind you they are all used seats but in good shape and it looks like the deluxe is thinner than the standard.Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me?
