Pretty Cool

I was at an upholstery shop yesterday. I have a 1985 Corvette in pretty good condition. The driver seat is beginning to wear a bit more than the passenger. The guy told me how easy it is to switch the seat bottom and seat back. They are inter changeable. Now I have a brand new drivers seat it feels like. Just thought I would share.

I have to say that I am lucky in the fact that the PO of my verte took good care of my car. He was a fanatic in as much if something went wrong he had it fixed immediately. As far as the interior, the leather is still vibrant and shiny. The car had 99k on it when I got it and I have put on about 2500k and the only thing I had to replace was the water pump.

That is such a good idea. Now the worn part is on the inside side of the passenger seat.

A weeding tool works pretty good. They already have a "V" groove in them.
