Burlap
« on: July 02, 2016 - 09:13:14 AM »
Going to try and put new covers on the front seats of 70 challenger. Took one bottom apart last night and the burlap is threaded thru some smaller wire frame then attached to main frame. Legendary videos shows just putting burlap right to main frame. After attaching the burlap to main frame I was thinking about putting the original small wire frame on top of new burlap for extra support ? ?  Thoughts ? ?
thanks

Use the wires..   Trick to threading the wires take your burlap & fold it in aa zig zag pattern about every 1.5" Then shove the wires through & flatten the panel... Your wires will be threaded perfectly....
