The birth of a restoration Project
Thought I'd post my new pick up. And show it as it transforms from crap to a wonderful seat. Seat from polo grounds with two NY figurals, which are rare. You normally see them with only 1.
I already ordered all new vintage wood to replace the bad ones. And have a piece of metal for the top soon to be welded on. Last edited by yanks12025; 08-16-2014 at 06:53 AM.

I'm gonna fully restore them. I would love to leave the paint but think the seats will be better looking orange/gray with black NY like it was in 1957.
Sadly I Have to replace all of the slats with ones from a 1940s minor stadium, so it won't be 100% original. Last edited by yanks12025; 09-06-2014 at 11:50 AM.

Please PM me before you toss the old seat wood. Would be willing to buy it off you if the price was right!

Update. Got the broken piece back and it's now repaired with the top bracket.
Next set is to get the paint removed and powder coated orange. Last edited by yanks12025; 08-28-2014 at 05:36 PM.

Anyone know where to find these type of carriage bolts. It's a 1/4 size bolt but with a large head. I can only find ones with small heads on them. One dealer has them for sale but at $3.00 per bolt.

Forget lowes, home depot, etc.
Try fastenal.com I'm not sure where you are in MA, but they have five stores in the Boston area. If not fastenal, there should be other stores in your area that sell nothing but nuts, bolts, screws and all other manner of fasteners.

I'm with Rob, pay to get the right bolt. These are going to look awesome and you are giving me insight for restoring the Sulphur Dell stadium seats in my barn!

Brock,
That looks awesome. You did a great job restoring it. I didn't think I would like this color scheme as much as the green, but it really does look nice that way. Did you paint it yourself? One of those is definitely on my list at some point in time. Best, Mark
