725 Seat work

Recommended Posts

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 ??

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

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.

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.

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
