I'm getting a bit ahead of my self here but what did you guys do about the black cardboard that runs up the sides of the backrest? It was sewn in originally. Did you ad it into your covers or leave it out?

Did you ad it into your covers or leave it out? My seats had already been reupholstered, and the cardboard was glued to the main foam core. I think that you will need it so you have something to staple to. |

Mine was sewn to the cover. No staples. So now I'm more confused than usual. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

I reused the black runners. I stitched them to the new covers by hand then glued them to the foam just like they were originally. A little time consuming but worth it IMHO. I replaced all of the foam to the insert (plaid) section. Starting fresh, no more stinky seats!
**Tip... Keep one insert together to use as reference, it really helps when you go to reassemble with the new cover. |

The other one won't come apart until I start assembly on the first one. |

Mike, your illustration shows what looks to be two shades of yellow. I have a swatch from SMS Auto Fabrics of the yellow, and it doesn't go with my 1974 Chrome Yellow (L13M). THe swatch is too mustard for me. My question is, are those two separate shades of yellow in the picture? I'd love to have a lighter shade of yellow.
I was asked some time ago to help out in getting these material made. I finally got off my butt and pulled the trigger on this. I have 7 for the 9 in stock and will have the other 2 late next week. Materials will run per yard. Or I can have kits sewn up as shown. All 4 pcs $125, + the materials cost. It is recommended you purchase 2 yards to get the sections to line up properly, does burn up material. I will sell sample cards for $25 each that have 3" square samples. If you buy the $25 will be credited to your purchase. I plan to have the GB open til Dec 10th, so if you are looking for a Christmas gift for your car this might be the thing. I sent a kit out to Ken, he should have Friday. Material is $127 per yard If you have us do the 4 pcs kit it will take 2 yards for all 4. |

I have all the 10 of the ones on the card pre-sewn and ready to ship. Are you referring to 43? It's more of a lime yellow color. |

I noted that 43 is a lime green. It sounds like 40 is the only yellow? As I said, in the start of this thread you had a picture of all the material shades, and it looked like you had two shades of yellow. Sounds like that's not the case. That's what I want to confirm.

No only one true yellow. The real test is do you need a green stripe of blue. I have seen the lime look close to the yellow as it had faded.
The small cross strip will confirm your color. |

Any change of heart to do an early seat? If not what do I need in the way of material to do the bottom and back of an early?
