working on my new buddy buckets
i purchased a set of buddy buckets from a board member a couple weeks ago and its time to get working on the new upolstery. i pulled the old covers off and the backs wernt too bad but the bottoms were less than perfect. i purchased some high density foam locally but i dont think its going to work. i called a local upolstery shop and they are going to get me some prices on some foam that is better suited for a person my size. i am covering the seats in slate grey tweed and a dark grey vinyl. here is some pics i will post more as i get some more done. mike

Re: working on my new buddy buckets
cool, thanks for sharing... your mom should go into business.. set up a booth at carlisle and take orders. I just bought a set of PUI covers, if they suck I might pay her to make a set for me...
