Tony, Very informative and very well done. I never was good with the clutch motor on my machine but you certainly are. Just goes to show that it is not the tool as much as the skill of the one using it. Thank you.
Tony! First class! Both the video and the seat! Very well narrated! Photography Excellent! The fabric looks like a Bedford Cord weave. I hope I can duplicate your very nice results! Terry
As you will have seen in my video, I used the old seat faces as patterns. It very much depends which model Model A Ford you have, what age as to which style of seat pattern you require. For example the more pleats in the facings the wider the material you require. If you have the old seat material that you can use as patterns, that is the way to go. If you have bare seat frames or no seats to copy you could ask for someone like Classtique in the US and ask them if they would sell you patterns. But you would have to stipulate which year car, which style of body and also which material you intend to use. It all makes a huge difference. But do keep away from Mac's/Cartouche they will just give you grief. Good luck.

This is one of the finer Video's on the subject.
could you give us the URL for the video you watched about the reduction in the pleats ??
Top job.
Thanks very much Terry, if you get stuck with your project drop me a line. You never know I might be able to point you in the right direction.
Can I purchase the pattern or get a free download?

The lack of narration during the process made me skip forward. Sure wish you would have provided an explanation of each process.
You prolly had your volume turned off, narration came through loud and clear.
