New swivel bucket seat covers
Hey all,
Wanted to share pics of my new seat covers. The seats in my 73 one owner cutlass were trashed. Split at all the seams and torn vinyl with worn out foam. I had a local(sort of) upholstery shop stich up custom covers with new foam. He had not done a set of swivel seats in about 20 years but as you can see, they turned out really nice. He used thicker marine grade fabric that matched to factory color and grain and a medium foam that would not be too stiff. They look great and feel wonderful!! I sit about 1" to 2" taller in the car and they support much better.
They sure make the rest of the interior look bad!!!!

Hey durf
That will be a great move. You don't realize how bad the seats are till they are re-done!!
Good luck with your search to find an upholstery shop to do them. Took a while to find one that would tackle the job. Thankfully, Alan had done them in the 80's and 90's so he knew what he was doing.
