Floor looks very good, and with the help you have it should be back on the road soon. What seats are those? More pic's of the interior please.

Seats are shot, but the pattern is enough for the upholstery guy to work with in trying to match the best he can.  The car has the gray floor mat from the manufacturing fund that has not been installed yet.  The pattern on the seats may be a combination gray striping with little bit of green to go with the Cape Verde Green.

Here are the seats before hand.  Very brittle and dry.  Tried cleaning but they just crumbled.  Front seat is completely gone in the front and big pillow is/was on the springs.

Not Sure about the padded dash pad, my car doesn't have one.

A '52 Henry J would not have a padded dash. Only  '53 Corsair Deluxes had that feature.
