Hi,
I was looking for some confirmation of what I have to do next on a front seat recover job on a 67 standard coupe.
I'm using new seat foamfrom TMI for a 67, no imbedded listing wires. The seat covers are Distinctive Industries standard for 67 coupe. I've attached a picture of where I need to hog ring the rear edge of the seat cover. Everything I see in pictures on the internet seems that I need to hog ring that edge to the springs. However, it's a 'long' stretch to get the rear edge to the springs.
Obviously, if that's where I need to get the edge to, I'll figure a way. However, seems like this TMI foam and the Distinctive Industries covers aren't the friendliest combo. Even with all the forum advice about how hard the upholstery process is, this just seemed a stretch beyond normal. But maybe not.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
