Hey all,
I have a 1970 Vette which rolled off the assembly line 34 years ago tomorrow (Feb 20). I am currently recovering my seats, which brings me to my question..
I ordered the covers and foam from Corvette America, and after receiving my covers; I noticed a difference in stitching on the lower part of the seat. After returning them along with photographs of my current seats, I was told that the back portion of my seats are '70 covers, while the lower part has a '69 cover. To the best of my knowledge these appear to be original covers. Does anyone else with an early '70 have something similar to this? It sounds to me like something GM would do. And secondly, should I special order (20% extra) my new covers to match this configuration? Would this matter if I decide to have the car judged in the future? I think I might be putting too much thought into something as simple as a stitching pattern, but I hope on only refurbishing my seats once and using them for a long time!
Thanks for any input!
Vince
