    Finished putting new seat covering on my rear seats. I hope to get to the front in a few days; as soon as my hands, wrist and fingers recover from applying and re-applying hog rings. Oh yea! I did make a lot of mistakes and did many more rings than someone who knows what they are doing. I think my results are not bad for a first time effort. It seems the fronts will be much simpler - the rears were somewhat of a challenge. I have a few sml puckers in the seat bottom; I think I can get them down by removing some frt hog rings and see if I can stretch the cover a little tighter.

    I like em too. Im glad I went w/ the grey tweed inserts, instead of blk cloth insets.
    I can't wait to get to the fronts but I still have some stuff in the dash area to replace frm heater box re-install.
    Thanks for the encouraging comments GUYS....:)
