1956 Ford F100 bench seat re-upholster
Hi everyone,
Has anybody seen a decent site for advice on re-upholstering bench seats? I am experienced with a standard sewinig machine and we have bought an industrial machine. The plan is to re-cover the seat in leather. Any tips, good supplies websites will also be appreciated! Katherine
