Don't think it's the complexity, rather the sheer volume. -Hee, hee, hee ...yeah.
Holland, Merv, unless we get seriously lost.

O.K, I gave in. Took my seats over to Phil today. Not entirely sure he was happy to see me, but it's his own fault for showing me the other pair yesterday. I've actually lost count of the number of times mine have been recovered now. 3 or 4 I think. I really don't intend ever building another car though, so just want to get it right.
Phil's already covered the bases in the ready-made tuck n roll material I supplied, but he hates it -I think it offends his upholstery sensibilities & he sees it as a cheap & nasty imitation of the real thing. He doesn't mind doing the door & roof panels in it, but when it comes to seats, he wants to stitch his own. Fair enough. He's also not sure about the extra thick padding & raised front edge on my seat bases & thinks they'll look out of proportion with the backs. I tried the other ones out while I was there & they feel much firmer than mine, so maybe less is more when it comes to padding. I've told him they have to be comfortable for some long distance drives & he assures me he can do something better with them. I await the results with interest.
Mine looks taller in this photo, but it's because I've welded a mounting frame underneath it.

Well sat bolt upright I'm sure you won't be that comfy after many miles ? My guy foams my seats first then I try them before he finishes them off ? Saves lots of grief  |

I would say that someone has to suffer in one's arse,
But they do look nice.

I think you made the right choice mate, if they turn out like the ones you have shown us they will look great and be more comfortable than what you had planned

"I've told him they have to be comfortable for some long distance drives" nice seats interesting logic. Andy |

In a chopped motor you tend to spend your time leaning forward mostly ( but without realising it ).
