It'll be done right and you'll know it was.

USA1 Industries used one of the seats I built for a customer, on their Facebook page. They are featuring the Hinge Garnishes. Kind of cool!!

That is cool! Did they ask for your permission first?

No, I just saw it this morning. But I had posted that picture when they were featuring the part itself, awhile back. I wanted to show that I used them and they fit perfect. But they didn’t need permission, I’m fine with it.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

Well I have a few seats I need to build. Yesterday here in Ohio, the sun came out and was about 60. So I brought up a couple of frames, foam and tracks from the Seat Shed to the garage. I have a 81-87 Black Velour seat to build for a fellow member on the forum.
The other seat will be a 77-80 Black Velour. The cover should be arriving soon.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

Last night, while I had my head buried in the IPad. I was looking at some of the FB Pages for our Squarebodies. This popped up. I really haven’t been looking hard, and I have plenty of seat cores, but this was only minutes from my brothers place in Chillicothe. So I paid the guy online thru PayPal and he left the seat out in the driveway, for my brother to pickup.
When the Stay at Home order is lifted, I’ll drive down and get it and strip it down for restoration.

It's kinda disrespectful to not even ask when it's being used in sales literature.
I wouldn't charge someone for my content either but I'd prefer they ask. That's just good manners.
No such thing as good manners anymore.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

I don’t get too many request for 73-80 seats. Everyone wants the 81-87. This one is only 1hr 15min drive from me, and it’s only $20. But I hate to get it because of the lack of interest of that year seat. It would make an excellent core for restoration. I’m still 🤔
