Best bang for my buck.

I recovered one myself years ago and it turned out good. I had less than fifty bucks in it. I got everything from a craft store in Macon. New foam, heavy duty vinyl and adhesive. It was a lot of labor but it looked good. I wish I had pictures, but all of those were in a box that my ex burned along with a lot of other sentimentally valuable and irreplaceable items.
What ex?
