Re: $3,000 driver build

Ok, so I'm no upholsterer. I just wanted a clean(ish) seat for me and the kids to sit on. I went to the fabric store in town, this stuff was called bandana print, it was about $5 a yard and I bought two yards. They had some REALLY furry stuff that wanted, but it was $25 a yard, TOO MUCH!

All together I spent $24 for the fabric, some foam, and these eyelets I used to strap it to the seat. It turned out better than I had hoped lol.

I got these eyelets, and they came with the little tool to install them. All I did was smash one in every six inches or so of the perimeter of the fabric once I cut it to size:



Then just strapped it to the underside of the seat with cable and zipties and put it back in lol. Hey it worked:




Here's the seat back before I get started, it's in much better shape than the bottom was:



And Elvis holding down the fort while I work:



Actually he's just trying to find a way out so he can eat my face off lmao.
