these are acctually the seats out of Danielles yellow car I haven't started on the ones out of the fast back yet I thought I would practice on these seats first being that this is the first seat I have ever re covered. I got 20 hours in the first seat from start to finish and It turned out nice. I have 10 hours in the second seat so I am getting better by leaps and bounds and I'm only on my second seat. I hope to get down to be able to do one bucket seat in 6-7 hours but for now I'm happy with 10.
THE SEAT: as you can see the old frame has some surface rust and the burlap is old and discolored. I just wanted to show a few shots of the seat tore down before I re covered it. I wire brushed everything and re-painted all metal parts Semi-flat black before new burlap is installed. as you can see the picture of the small metal listing rods, they also had surface rust the top 2 are cleaned and the bottom one is still rusted "before & after" . the listing rods go into the cracks of the seat to keep everything snug and give the Vinyl a tight look. clamping these correctly is the toughest part of the entire operation.
