Well done Joe and thanks for sharing the link! This might be the year I finally tackle my seats!

Great work !
I've ordered from Rochford before, too. Always good prices, always quick shipping. The red "pleated" vinyl on mine was from Rochford. Of course I'm not trying to restore mine to original, I'm trying to use some original inspiration on a more modern take.

Those seats are just right up next to professional. Look at that wall of roll cabs in the background. And you guys think I have a nice shop. Could buy a nice building with whats in those babys.

thanks...
it took quite a while to build up the nerve to start cutting and sewing.
passenger seat... port side seat frame was in worse condition, had to replace the side panel and reinforce the seat backs.
now just need to coat them with resin.
as far as all the tool's and boxes...
30 years worth collecting, most of it is second hand, but i will admit i like to have the tools i need to get something done.

People are going to think this boat went through a time machine when it's done! It'll look showroom!

thedeuceman · « **Reply #114 on:** April 09, 2013, 09:28:40 AM »

not sure about "show room" but it will look good, and it will be a "users boat" and in that i imagine it will see plenty of dock and beach rash by the end of the summer.
I am getting so excited... just about ready to "jump out of my skin", might just take a half day off work and do some painting this afternoon
