    Well, I watched Craigslist and picked up an old top-quality leather couch and tore it down and saved the leather. The Bebop seats were still in good shape, but beginning to show a few stress cracks after the twenty years I had it. So I just covered the seats and have enough material left to do the door panels as well, but I am going to let an experienced auto upholsterer do that, who has sewing capabilities.  It took about a month, So here’s some progress pictures if I can load them for you.

     Naaaaaaa it looks like these new pictures have more than one megabite. It looks pretty good. And I have enough material left to take the 63Willys in and let someone piece together a seat cover for it as well.  Randy

    Hi,

    You don’t need to crop the photos as much as resize the pixel count or resolution.

    On a Windows machine…

    1. Open the images in Microsoft Office (Picture Manager)
    2. Click Edit
    3. Right side toolbar, click Compress
    4. Click radio button next to Documents
    5. Click OK
    If you want to retain your original full resolution image, than do a “save as” and rename the file.
    When you close the program, it will prompt you with a message you have changes that have not been saved. Click “Don’t Save”

    At least you still found new ideas to make that usable, unlike mine, just ruined it after removing its cushions. But this thing gives me new experience to invent something unique.. though mine really just needs a massive repair, I thought of doing something that is different. I installed wood type recliner instead, I found some good materials from this http://www.javateakoutdoorfurniture.com/products/, it is light wood yet reliable and very effective.
