The new seat vinyl has vertical bars....similar to what was on there before...but on the old vinyl the bars were wider and flat, on this one they are raised and thinner. I haven't done the bench yet....I hope they will line up....that'll be something to look out for I guess..

Ford seemed to have a lot of seat combinations in those years...I'd like to find a cloth brownish plaid for my Explorer,but I'll probably settle for something that looks period correct...

Great tutorial Ed!

I look forward to hearing about your bench seat experience. That's my "problem" area.

Yeah, I'm sure Cooks is pretty expensive but it seemed worth it and it was my insurance company's preferred body shop.

Yeah, I went there with my mom to pay out of pocket for a broken taillight and slightly dented quarter panel...2000 dollars ouch.....but hey if insurance is paying, why not take it there....
