I have done a few Different years in chevelle seats. You will need original
foam to get the right look. I have added padding or thin foam to get rid of the
concave mark your but leaves in the seats over the years and it makes the
covers nice and tight looking. I just did buckets with new foam for a friend
and they looked nice when done.
There are some pics on my web site of differant ones I have done in the past.
Good luck

Pelle- Having done a few seats over the years, more than I’d like, unless
you’re after a custom look, you’ll likely need to buy the appropriate foam for
your Chevelle. This has the rope- like material that you will have to attach
the hog rings to in order for it to have the proper shape. Hopefully somebody
will have better input for you as well. I’m not an upholsterer, just a guy who
works on his own cars.

Hi!
A few Q:s
I'm in the progress of reupholstering the back seat.
Allt that is left of the old back seat is the bare metal base and springs,
due to rats and mould!
Do I proceed like this
1. First I need a layer of fabric or jute to protect the foam against the
springs I guess.
2. Then there's a layer of foam? How thick should the foam layer be?
Any more layers on top of the foam except the new cover?
3. Then I attach the hog rings!
Best regards
Pelle
