cny first gen 71 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 I got the top of the back seat done tonight and it didnt come out bad at all there was a lot of streaching and pulling but I got it. Its a little rough on the hands but worth it. I have the back of the front seat in place just have to hog ring it on that one wasnt as bad as I though it was going to be. Heres the back in just set in not really in. Going to work on more tomorrow if time allows my mom is coming to town so im not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tonemonte Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Nice work on it! I picked away at the rear seat, then did a back of the bench,I think the bench bottom went last. I had help from a fellow member RichG, Ill bet his hands are still hurting from doing the seats It was a lot of putting the covers on and off to make sure of the fit. We added some Badding(sp?) that we picked up at a craft store in an area or two, and Rich took care of a little bit of missing foam on the corner of the front seat. Overall, it took a few weekends of toying with it,but I dont think it was too bad (but I had good help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cny first gen 71 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 The front bottom proved to be the most difficult a lot of pulling tuggging and stretching and of course cutting. But I wrestled with it for a while tonight untill my daughter got home. Then we had our triditional green beer together as we do every year in honer of my dad. He would have been 90 today. Him and I started doing it when I was just a kid and my daughter joined us when she was 16 now its just her and I. Any how heres the seat almost complete. The next pictures will be when its all back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Carpet is in, rear seat is done and in, front seat bottom is done and in, seat belts are in. Just have to finish up the front seat backs and final trimming on carpet. This old body said not today to the rest. Everything on me hurts even my hurt hurts. Still to much salt to take it out anyhow now we need some more rain. Pictures will follow when complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tonemonte Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hog ringing them seats takes its toll on the hands huh? I remember mine hurting for quite a while afterwards, and I had help from Rich!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yea they are a killer and I am using the set they sent they have no cusion on the handles I think I should have spent a few bucks and got a better set.
