    I recieved the Naugahyde Zodiac Burgundy Upholstery Vinyl from DIY Upholstery Supply yeserday and redid my seat last night. I wanted something to match my Superior 500 steering wheel and it came out great.

    I also installed some new foam for the back and new foam pillows for the seat. Some of the webbing needed to be replaced, so I did that as well. Results are a new, softer seat in a 60's bare bones look.

    The back section folds down. So when I'm parked for extended periods, I flip it down and the seat stays cool. Worked great last summer, when it hit 100+ for a few days.
     
  8. Looks like you could use a bit more stuffing, that would tighten up the vinyl.
