Recieved my new seat covers yesterday and proceeded to get the ball-rolling and work on covering the frames. I had Fred Carello construct the covers, and I will say I LIKE EM. Fred does great work at a reasonable price. "U get what ur pay for". Anyway, I had a previous post/pole here abt on color combination. I had two colors in mind. I went against the majority vote; on something mechanical issue I wud not have done it, "went against majority". On a cosmetic issue I wud risk it. I feel the #B combo has more eye appeal. I felt after 38 yrs of all black it was time for a change. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=74466 I made some nice progress on getting the old covers off the rear seat bottom and figuring out how things go. As usual, "first attempt at auto upholstery" inexperience dictated I remove more hog rings than necessary. I belive I have it down now, tommorrow I plan on doing the entire rear. I plan when I get started it will be $$$holes & elbows till I fiinsh the rear. My last thread/post #3 will the final product - I will then be ready for some serious MOTORING AT THAT POINT. Im still entertaining comments on this subject.
I don't plan on selling them. The fronts are in bad shape, esp., the pass side. I had someone inquire abt the condx. of them. I wud give them away "the rears". I have someone on forum wants the fronts for patterns. I was going to throw them out - never thought abt using them for patterns. The rear is in pretty gud shape exc. for on little tear in the top by the package tray.
Everett, glad you finally figured out what YOU wanted, they look great! Can't wait to see the final product pics in thread #3.
