Things are going faily well, screwed and glued bottom of stiffener to
frame, used mylar packing tape to shape and attach edges of stiffener to
frame, used 3M 77 spray glue to attach foam to front of frame, trimmed
excess foam to flush with stiffener. Test fitted cover, what a battle will
use plastic bag idea for final assemby. The premarked hole for the head
rest seems to be right on so now to the scary part of actually cutting
leather for this hole.
Questions;
When actually clipping cover, front or back first?
Finish screw on lower side of seat, any hints on lining that up?
Thank You everybody, many of you going to be at ABFM in Portland Saturday?
