Ok. Patty (Lives in Lake Orion) is a master seamstress. Makes custom boat covers, tents, and of course, seat covers...  she'll be happy to cover our seats!

I'm going to provide her with my seat pan w/ the foam cut to shape. She's gonna cover it for me in a bomber material for $150. It'll probably be a month or so before I'm ready to hand it over to her as my other proj is priority right now.

I can put you in touch if you're interested.
