Yeah, I've got a machine that can do it. But damn, that is one nice looking job. I think I need to go through a coupe sets of seats to get something to come out that good looking. Going to be tough to get to now with the return to school next month. Still, I feel inspired... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

He has been doing upholstery on and off for years. However,the sewing that he did was only around the edges. Most of the nice stitching that you see was done in Germany 15+ years ago.

Looks nice. I too have a first Gen Mitsubishi pickup and I could not stand the bench, that bar hits me right in the shoulder blades. I put in a bench from a '99 Toyota Tacoma and I love it, but I can't wait to add heated seats and leather this fall. I love leather.

I thought I would bring back this thread for those of you that are thinking you need a new seat. The seat is still looking and working good in my truck....Rich

Definitely looking nice. Yeah, I need to refurbish my front seats (especially the driver seat but after I had one guy disassemble my one cover only to try & raise the price after the fact <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />, I think I'm now uber cautious of having someone do it so they don't F-up my current seats.
