    I've done several 32 pus with rather plain seats and the biggest problem was getting the upholstery guy to make the back thin. They all want to use 3 inch foam and since I'm a big guy they look at me like I'm crazy when I tell the I only want 1 inch of firm foam in the back. I'm not sitting on it just leaning against it! Last truck was in the Oct. 05 R&C.

    I hear ya. I kept the back foam at about two inches thick.
    I have a sample of a fifties style 'linen' print Vinyl in a straw sort of colour, looks pretty good, its like the sort of pattern that would have been used on fifties kitchen chair sets, thinking that it could look good for the inserts ,with black ..and maybe just flat, no pleats. what do you guys think?

    The colour is actually about halfway between those two shots, the lights in the shop have a green cast, and the outside shot is too red.. damn iphone!
