Still debating whether to try doing them myself or take everything over to the local shop and have them install them. I have never messed with seats before. I have all new foam for them as well. I am going to disassemble here and make sure there are no issues with the frame or hardware and get all that cleaned up and painted 1st.

Nice score on the seat covers. They look cool. Seats aren't that tough to recover. I did the high back buckets on my 69 Cougar. There were a zillion hog rings. If you do do them yourself spend the money on a decent set of hog ring pliers!
