Looking forward to the seat pan repair. I repaired one in pretty rough shape a few years ago. I had no welder, so I fiberglassed it. It will be good to see what a proper repair looks like. Also, that's a great looking seat cover. Came out really well.

[@805ROADKING]

Thank you Mike!!☻

[@MrGoosePit]

Amazing work R.K.! Looking forward to the next installment. P.S. I like using the 50/50 mix. Scoutcrafter would be proud!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Contoured seats are such a challenge to cover. This is a great tutorial! 😃👍

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! We glued the top section to help keep it's contour!!☻

[@combatmedic1980]

Looks good, maybe putting it under a heat lamp or using a heat gun would make it much easier to stretch in on the foam.

[@357magdad]

Lookin' good! Daddy Dirtbike is gonna love it!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! He did!!☻

[@RustyGlovebox]

Great job Buddy, I like how you made your template. That made a lot of sense seeing that. I remember years ago I had to go to a couple of different upholstery shops before someone would recover a motorcycle seat I had. Cheers

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Lloyd!! Yeah that cover was too toasted to use for a pattern!! My Lil' Honda should be alot easier, the cover is pretty decent, just old and hard!!☻

[@zachmiller9543]

I have learned so many cool techniques through these videos!

[@gregwhite7957]

[@MattBrownbill]

I like the upholstery vids, RK. I made a garage stool like yours, but went and put a spinning grinder on it, that cut the fabric. Oooops. 😢

[@805ROADKING]

That's funny!! When I upholstered my stool I forgot put air holes in the bottom of the plywood!! So when I was drilling 4 holes one of them when through the wood and foam and pushed up to the vinyl but didn't go through but it did leave an indent that is still there 4 years later!!☻

[@timothyfink9354]

so thats how you do it.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!!☻

[@ww321]

Man that machine runs slow.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! We put a Servo Motor on it and a smaller pulley!!☻
