Re: buckets seats

[Cindy & Jeff <cin.bad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well Tom, I think it is best to get a shop to do the uphostery.  Most are
reasonable if you buy the covers.  I've seen some really nice covers being
put on by some guy trying to save himself some money and they look really
bad.  I'm not sure what 2 stage foam means.  Get the foam form Legendary
too.  Its great when I get the seats stripped, cleaned and repainted, but
save everything so the uphosterer an see where trim goes and what not. You
don't need to save the hog rings though.  It  is best to be in heat and
preferable sun when stretching vinyl covers.  Have you ever seen someone
fighting with their tonneau cover on their truck in the winter,  the cold
makes it stiff. I'm doing the interior for my 65 Satelite this week, I made
the covers myself as its advertizement when I go to carshows in the summer.
I hope I've helped you.

Cindy
