Seats Continued

So sliding on the seat covers over the foam is a whole lot harder than the video for JBugs makes it out to be. I believe I ripped two areas on two different seat covers. With luck they are not that noticeable. Soar hands and raw fingers and uncountable hours were spent on the seats. Painting the bases, buying more burlap, and figuring out how to finish the bottom of the back of the front seats(with boot laces), all the time added up. But it got done with a ton of help from my brother. The boot laces came in where the old broken metal teeth failed. So along with missing metal wire in the bottom of the backs which I replaced with some metal dowel type things from ACE I think cut holes in the vinyl for the boot laces, then laced it up with the laces going around the outside of the metal dowel pulling everything down and tight. Tied it off and that was that. Put the seats back together and slid them into place. More seat pictures to come with the finished product pictures.
