I completed my bottom seat redo. Here are a few pics.
I decided against purchasing anything new, so after cleaning and spray painting the frame I just applied some flower bed weed block material I had instead of buying burlap. It's tough and breathable and acts as a dust sheild like the burlap.

Then I reused the jute and cotton layer.

After that I applied a layer of foam which is actually intended for bed use over a mattress. It was the only piece I bought. Very inexpensive too.

Then I covered that with a used ,but good condition seat cover I purchased from a fellow Stovebolter as previously stated.

Admittedly I made some mistakes. I used too much foam and didn't quite get all the retainer hog rings concealled. But, for a rank amateur on a senior budget and not interested in showing the vehicle, I think it came out fine for my purpose,a driver. I did find some useful videos on the Lebaron-Bonney(uphostery) web site and from several Stovebolters. Thank you guys. Now,it's on to the backrest. It should go easier.
