They sure do look nice! I have toyed with the idea of white seats in my 1974.

Seats look great but make sure any one who you take for a ride has very clean pants on or no pants

I dont know if I have ever seen white on white but it looks awsome. Be proud of your work and enjoy it. Every time you look at it or someone compliments it, you will know the headaches were worth it.

Hey that looks real good.

Since you couldn't find a step by step it would be cool if you made one, to help the future seat re-doers. Just a thought

But yeah...thats nice

Hi wm,
Your seats look nice!!!! Red and white looks sharp!!!!
The pictures show it helps to have a neighbor, or to have been born with four arms and hands.
Hint... I only have 2 hands so I did the work on the floor, (on an old blanket), so I could kneel on one side to hold it, while pulling on and fastening the other.
Regards,
Alan
