FastPaul Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I had the seat cover made to slip over the origanal pan but I wasen't happy with the way it looked, So last night i decided to cut it to fit and bend back the origanal crimp amd recrimp it to look more factory .Well after some blisters on my fingers it looks much better Here's a few pics .What do you think ??
ReedS Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Very nice work Paul, I did my 64 LL seat over a couple of years ago only my cover doesn't come close to the original. Now if only I could find a couple of NOS black seat covers with the embossed pattern in the vinyl.......:O
shanhamm Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Very nice Paul!!! Btw I love your new signature pic:p8D:I^

Willy Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Looks great,I like the trim around the finders,it really set them off nicely.
tracktor312 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 as usual looks great someday I have to check out the fleet in person
Juggler2 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Nice job! I've done some part-time upholstery work in the past, and while I haven't done a seat like yours (where the seat pan has to be crimped over the cover), I can appreciate your reference to "blisters". sm01 Good job! Looking at this kinda "goads" me to put the pan seat back on my LL.
oldone Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Looks good Paul! I know what you mean by the blisters from bending over the crimp on the pan. I used a chisel to help open it up on mine.
Ryno Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Looks good Paul, when u gonna come down and finish my tractor for me? C -Ryan-
hdrhdr Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Nice looking seat Paul. Have you thought about asking the guy that made it if he would make more? I'd be interested in one and I know I've read about some other members that was looking for an original replacement. Randy
FastPaul Posted April 6, 2007 Author Posted April 6, 2007 I can, Thats the good news ,The Bad news $120.00 I wasen't happy about that an a little shocked :O But I think if I had him make a small quantity we could get a reduced price, I 'll find out quote:Originally posted by hdrhdr Nice looking seat Paul.
