Bought all the raw materials ( foam, velour upholstery material, edging, & rope). My beautiful wife sewed the backer to the material to create those lines and hold it all together. Used the old vinyl as a pattern. More pics as it gets assembled.

My wife is an artist with a sewing machine as well. If she made me a seat that nice she would never let me sit on it.

Seat is done!

The seat is done and very comfortable! I am wore out from wrestling it all afternoon and evening...

After I paint the floorboard it can go in!

Thank you everyone! I couldn’t find this online or local upholstery didn’t want to deal with a sculpted 100% re-foam, and it does make me happy to have a very nice seat for many years. The velour is automotive UV protected high quality material so It should last another 40yr!

the foam for later years is taller and sits you up higher.
