Re: Restoring Rusty
That's because it has to go by way of New York and then back to CA

FedEx has air and ground hubs in Sacramento but that doesn't preclude the idiots doing thier logistics from routing packages through Oakland or Fresno or Reno NV or Portland OR ... The USPS ships letters I mail to Woodsville from the Wentworth Post Office to Nashua and back to Woodsville. Nashua is an hour and a half South of here right across the border from Lowell Massachusetts. Why not send the bloody letter to Boston and back or round trip it to Providence RI or Hartford Ct or Rutland Vt or NYC. Small wonder they're in financial difficulty.

Re: Restoring Rusty
thanks, well what I like to do is allow it to sun bathe for a while to soften up the pleather allowing it to acclimate to it's new surroundings like a gold fish, while you attend a friends BBQ/pool party!

Re: Restoring Rusty
How long did it take USA1 to make your seat cover? I inquired a long time ago about some bucket seat covers and they said it would be an 8 week turnaround. Curious if that's how long it took for yours.

ha ha, I guess you missed the ordeal I went through in the last dozen posts, no problem, here it is in a nutshell Ordered the seat on September 1st heard nothing for two weeks so emailed them and they said, exactly what they told you, the seat will be 8 to 10 weeks out then couple days later I got a Shipping confirmation with a Tracking number (WTH ?) and it miandered all across the country for about a week and a half and I just got it yesterday September 25th |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Very Nice! Can’t wait to see the seat after you get the cover installed.

Re: Restoring Rusty
You probably could have gotten a couple more miles out of the old one.

Re: Restoring Rusty
thank you all, I have these BLUE HAWKs from when I did the seats on my '71 and swore I would never do another set again, ha ha, these suck cause you don't place the ring in the very tip, so it's impossible to push it in deep enough through the material unless you are doing the edges only

Re: Restoring Rusty
That one works good for most of the seat back. The other set I showed, works the best on the seat bottom. It helps to pull the cover. I’ll try and find a video to explain better.
