Finally got all the parts needed to completely overhaul my seats (had been waiting on the foam and installation kit for a little while). So with a deep breath, I set about re-padding and reupholstering my passenger side bucket. I've never attempted any form of upholstery work before, so this was my first rodeo. Here are the results:







The Legendary upholstery and American Cushion Industries foam are excellent. I'd be lying if I said I didn't work up a good sweat stretching the new seat covers over the foam and frame, though. The upper seat back was particularly tough, and there was one point when I thought it had me beat. But I was persistent and didn't take no for an answer, and it all worked out very nicely in the end. No wrinkles, no tears, no problems. Total success! Now I have to get busy with the driver side...
