    I received a box today from France, Eric (French Fan) sent his Ranchero seat covers to me to have them remade back to original using his seat for patterns.

    Strange feeling to see my seat covers knowing they are so far from me but i'm sure i choose the best solution. As i said to Mitch i'm always waiting for a quote i asked last november (2012) from a local upholstery shop, maybe they don't need to work :rolleyes:. I asked to another one and the answer was they were unable to find the matching vinyl :mad:!!! even me i was able to find the material....unbelievable.

    I know and i saw how Mitch is working, just look at his topic about his Ranchero and you will understand.
    Thanks Mitch for your advices and your help.

    hello to my buddy Kellen who's been of a great help for me also ;).

    While Mitch was working in California on my seat covers i decided to do some foam work on the seat.

    On the back rest.

    Then the box arrived at home in France. Started with the central armrest and the two back rests. Mitch added in the box some hog rings and a hog ring pliers.

    Eric did an excellent job on the seat repair and installation,
    That Baseball glove looks well broken in, are you watching the World Series?
