Re: Bucket seat restoration
I did mine solo with some pretty easy learning curves. DO NOT take both apart at the same time. Use one as a reference for the other if they are still 'in one piece'. Improvise, use some Clark's ultimate glue and canvas to help keep your seat buns on etc. take your time and use lotsa stuffing to fill in the 'ridges'. Use something substantial to the seat bottom front corners. Expect to get some puncture wounds and hog ring pliers are a must. Good luck!
