Jeff:
I bought seat covers and foams for my '73 Spit last Spring. I originally
intended to recover the seats myself but, after consideration, took them to
a pro shop. I'm really glad I did.
Lot's of folks do the work themselves with excellent results. I felt better
about letting a pro do the stretching, etc. so that I wouldn't rip the
material (and raise my blood pressure to a dangerous level). While the
seats were out I took the time to sandblast and paint the seat rails and do
some interior detailing. Good luck with your project.
Best regards,
Walt Fogle
