Brusier got a new windshield today. Tomorrow is put the new seat covers on. Bucket seats, built-in headrest, arm rests, and no air bags. New seat covers are saddle blanket style. Wanted cloth, so there you are.
These bucket seats are not original with the truck. It had a busted down bench seat. Like sitting on a roller skating rink. The bucket seats were collected from a salvage yard. They have the original upholstery nicely sun damaged and worn.
But.
The driver's seat is worn down badly, especially under the left buttock. So I picked up some 1/2" upholstery foam at Joanne's today. I have this idea to pad the left side and build up the lumbar some. Any suggestions? Or what not to do?
Layer the foam until it fits right? Glue it together so it stays put? What kind of glue? Planned to pull the new seat covers over what's there. No time (or expertise) for a 'real' upholstery job. Got quotes at $500 per seat. Yikes! This is a truck, fer cryin' out loud!
