The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Nice job with the seats, Cody.  Now you all have me thinking I'll have to do mine by myself. :cheers: (though it's harder to find '73 preformed foam cause most magazines don't mention it.)

The sun trick works, but also get you HOT.  Nice seats!

It certainly does! But, don't lay it on the grass on a hot day...it'll burn the grass underneath it and then you'll have a big brown spot on your lawn.  Don't ask me how I know.  :walkaway:

looks great!  They turned out better than mine.. The back seat was a whole lot easier.

Very nice job Cody.Great pictures thanks for taking the time.Should make my life a lot easier.Just finished my brakes and ready to start the seats.I do have one question were do you buy the jute backing and a good pair of hog ring pliers?The pair they sent with my seats were about 4 inches long.
