Me and my son took on that project last summer. We have a 1986 ski supreme and it needed the seats recovered. I had never once sat down at a sewing machine in my life before that. I found a walking foot machine on Craigslist and we started practicing. I used all the old foam and replaced the plywood. Used the old vinyl as patterns and watched a ton of YouTube videos to learn different stitch styles. It took us a few weeks but I think it turned out awesome and it was a fun project for the family. I will post some pictures when I get back home next week. Good luck. The engine cover was a royal pain but it's done now?
