Which seats are these?

[Skunksmash]

Here are some pics of my work so far. I think I'll be using the roll of fabric that you see in one of the pics. Maybe. Haven't decided yet. Its got a nice little pattern on it, and its high traffic stuff, and the right color. Sort of a golden tan. The relatives had it on hand already. It was left over from a job already done so its spare that I can have for free. Peeling the covers off couldn't have been easier. You just take a little pair of sewing scissors (or you could use a razor blade or knife if you didn't have those) and go after the stitching in the seams on the outside edge of the seats. Then just some tin snips or something to cut the hog rings. And the cover comes right off. Guess we'll see if its so easy to put them back on. I have some of that super thin, upholstery slip plastic so maybe that will help. Its made to help you get things on easier.

Can't wait till the seamstress lady that works for the relatives gets everything all sewed up. Then I get to repaint the center console and try to come up with all manner of brackets and spacers and such, for all this stuff. I love this kind of stuff though.

Also I got this pic from a link in this very thread. (I think..)

Is it really a 1:1 ratio? If so those things are huge. I was hoping one of you guys had actually handled the brackets that mount the buckets to the floor. And could tell me if this pic is entirely accurate. It just seems a little too big.

Alright I decided not to go with that other material in the previous pics. I went to a local fabric supply company, and picked out some stuff that they had on sale for $5 a yard. It was overstock, previously it had been about $40 per yard. Unlike the other material I had picked out, it is actually made for automotive seating so hopefully it will be more durable. That was my concern. A carpet sample of my carpet color is also in the pics. I'm going to use the stuff with the little dotted pattern as the inside stretch of the seats that you actually sit on, and the stuff with no pattern as the outsides and the back of the seats.

The brighter pic is with the camera flash on. Darker pic is with it off. So do yall think that is a good combo? What is your opinion? Think it matches well? I'm hoping it all turns out well...

Looks good to me.

     I just gotta say, that look on the dogs face is classic,  like when your kids want to help and they stare at you with those eyes and keep saying, please

I think it will look good

I like the fabric combo.  It'll look nice.

If you print that out 1:1, it will be the right size...

[Skunksmash]

I guess I'm not really sure how to go about doing that. On the original page, its really small. But when you click on it, it gets as big as I posted there. Is there some way I can be 100% sure that it printed out 1:1? My printer seems to just print it exactly how it was on the screen.

[Captkaos]

In your printer settings it should say scale to fit or 100% or something like that.  You don't want it scaled.

Looks like I'm outa luck on those brackets. My buddy with the machine shop packed up and went to work in the oilfield in some other state. And his dad who owned the shop finally got to retirement age and retired and closed it down. I should have hurried up.

So it looks like I'm going to the junkyard. But what did you do? Did you just show up there with an angle grinder and a long extension cord? lol. That seems like what I am going to have to do. Might be awkward explaining what I want to do, to the people that work at the junkyard.

hammer and chisel if it is a Suburban donor.  Cordless Drill and bit if it is a pickup donor.

Is it possible to find a blazer donor? Can't remember what seats came in those. I think they were the same type of buckets as the burbs.
