Default Tired of the sweaty back?









I know I was! So I decided to find SOMETHING to help. I looked at all the towels, sheepskins, etc. but didn't see anything I liked. Finally found these on Ebay for about 25.00. The color is just about perfect and with a little tugging here and there they fit very well. Had to take the seats out to do it right but that gave me an opportunity to do a few odds and ends that I had put off. Only driven moderate distances but it seems a lot better.

Get one or two of these, they will keep you from sweating on your way to the car show then pull them out and place in your chair. You can get them at Walmart or Amazon for around 15 bucks.

They're "universal lowbacks" so they may come close to fitting yours. As far as links and colors, I just searched my color (blue) and "low back bucket seat covers" on Ebay and found something that appealed to me. Or go to the their Ebay store name..Customautocrews.

Yup. Used those for years when the 67 was my primary driver.
