Greetings,
Having issues with a truck seat from a 60's ford P/U. Since my experience is limited, I have a few questions. I'm glad I found this forum to help me. The seat came to me with no cover. I added a 1/2 inch of high-density foam to the existing foam as it seemed to be low especially in the driver's seat. I made the cover, but my first attempt was obviously too tight and was too short where I could not pull it far enough down to attach with hog rings. So now comes my second attempt. My first question is if am measuring correctly. This makes it tough since I have no real pattern to follow. 2. I'm adding no inserts so its just a basic seat cover. 3. The piping I used was the flexible plastic. Should I be making my own from my vinyl as it seems more workable. 4. What material makes the best for my fabric pulls. I've watched several videos but I couldn't find one where they weren't using the old pattern removed from the seat. Sorry this is such a long post but any suggestions would be appreciated.
