  3. will post some pics tonight
     
  4. after the springs were fixed. I covered the seating area using 4yrds of burlap. The burlap supports the padding. I fold the burlap to double up at the edges and use hog rings to attach. I also glued the burlap to the back of the seat frame (pic 2) this allows the seat cover to move freely against the frame. In pic 3 I ran the burlap over the seat top to allow for support for the padding http://perfectfit.com/13049/130913/Upholstery-Decking-Burlap-Etc/Burlap-40-wide----10oz.html . . The padding will be several layers (4 on the bottom and three on the backrest) of 1" thick polyester batting. http://perfectfit.com/f15285/154139/FoamPaddingBatting/Richloft-15-CushionWrap.html .

    Nice tech Mr. Beachbum. Thanks!
     
  14. sewing some lines, sewing some lines!!! (think "Judas Priest") After measuring, cutting out the vinyl and marking the pleats for the rear door panels. I glued the vinyl to 1/4" scrim foam. But first I had to clean the glue gun. Once cleaned I resumed gluing. Can you say glue buzz.:eek: I then did some top stitching. Tomorrow I will finish sewing the door panel pieces and get them made up.
