The inaccurate color reproduction is apparent in these pics. Maybe someday someone will get it right. The cover isn’t all that hard to change out, it’s the foam that took all the work. Still, it’s a damnsight better than before !

I think I got an excellent return on the dollar for this project, even when I include the cost of the foam samples and discarded first bottom repair.

Seat foam from local supplier….…....19.05
Seat foam samples from diy.com.…..41.10
Seat foam……………….…………............54.68
Seat foam (firmer)………………........….28.55
Subtotal: seat foam……………………..........………$.143.38
( way cheaper than all new foam @ $400 ! )

Seat covers………………….……………................……239.08
Spray adhesive, silicone……………………............……18.69
Brazing wire and flux…………………….….…...............16.16
Bolster spring………………..……….................……………4.59

Hog ring pliers…………………………………...................12.93

Total………………………………..……..................……$.436.72

Peace.

Hey Jim,

I also live in Carlsbad and have a 1972 Custom Camper and a Corvette. Any chance I can drop my seat off and have your restore it?
