And finally the seat back ready to install to the seat base. I will comment (again) it’s definitely not as easy as shown in the Legendary video

Next will be the passenger seat after I take a break from upholstery
Hi Don, While stretching the seat covers on our 65 and and 66 Darts using Legendary Covers, my wife suggested sprinkling baby powder on the back side of the covers. The baby powder provided a bit of "ease" with the covers being pulled over the foam. At least I thought so. A bit easier on the fingers and hands while stretching and pulling. I did have a wrinkle or two on the first cover , but then, I used my wife's baby powder suggestion where the pulling and stretching became a bit less effort. As far as the wrinkles on the first one, they worked themselves out. Thanks for the post
which reminded me of the fun in upholstery. Sgrip65
