Re-covering the seat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm digging into re-covering my seat, and having gotten all the hog rings off, I looking at the next step.

A while back, I bought a mint '80 Custom Deluxe seat, with the same pattern as mine, but in blue. I bought it to scavenge the bottom cushion, but I'm hesitant to hack it up because its in such great shape. Plus, the hog rings on my seat gave me a headache. I'm wondering...is there any way I can trim missing chunks and insert some upholstery foam. The DS is the only problem area, the PS is in great shape
