Bucket seat covers done!
I thought I would post up some pics of my newly re-covered seats. This was my first attempt at upholstry. It was very time consuming because of my lack of experience. I had to add 1in. of foam to both seat backs and bottoms to get the covers to fit tight. Some of the box wrinkles are getting better from being out in the sun. Now on to the rear bench seat... should be a walk in the park
 I hope!

Re: Bucket seat covers done!
Nice work, your inexperience doesnt show....how about a hair dryer to speed the shrinking of the wrinkles
Some things i would attempt, that job is not one of them Job well done

Re: Bucket seat covers done!
Thanks for all the compliments! They are PUI seat covers and I got a deal on Craigslist. I am ashamed to admit I have at least 10 hours in each seat. It seams like I had the covers on and off a half dozen times. I found that using a small 500W halogen work light would provide plenty of heat to soften the covers without using a loud hair dryer.
