Default Seat covers

Anyone know of a video on how to install seat covers on foam for 1980 seats? I have looked all over.

Did you look at the Corvette America Video? That is what I used. If it isn't 100% correct, it will get you a 90% solution I would think.

Hopefully it will be that easy for you. I'm changing the interior color and have more parts to buy before I do my seats. Why don't you make a video for me and post it here .
