Re: Rat repair.

If ya scroll back you can read about my seat cover debacle.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=155

After a long wait of about 4 months Finally last Wednesday the seat was supposedly shipped although Tim did not give me a tracking number i trust it has actually shipped. He also has stepped up to send me some hog ring pliers and rings so i can install the cover, nice gesture.

I was concerned about the velour used on the last cover as it stretched on the install compounding the problem of the accidental dimensional problems from the top and bottom cover. I asked if they could locate some kind of black (non stretchy) woven fabric, he asked if i would be ok with Houndstooth? i said if they made a Black/Charcoal, Charcoal or just Black then i'd like it, but they don't and i don't like Black/White, Black/Blue, Black/Green, ect. So this was why the long wait, they took the time to research a different material that was kinda similar to hounds tooth but not exact, hopefully not stretchy and have durability too, i really didn't care if the material was a straight criss cross pattern or what have you long as it didn't stretch.

This is what they came up with.. A little different than anything i have seen in the past but i think I'll like it better than velour. Once its in the truck i probably wont think twice about it anyway.
