At $600 I think I am going to learn. Rick's Upholstry had instructions with the covers I bought and in stressed leaving them out in the sun to relax them before attempting and I have also heard that putting paper over the top of the bun will allow sliding the cover on a bit easier. I am not worried about having a show pc because I plan to drive it quite bit (if I ever get it done lol) I am just happy to be able to finally plug away at it a little bit each week now. I can finally start to see improvements which keeps me interested in moving ahead with it. Getting ready to head out in a few to work on it some more today.
