Reply to "Should I repair the existing 72 Pantera seat covers or replace them with reproductions?"

Hi Jerry.  I installed the SACC covers this winter.  They fit great.  The headrest covers were slightly smaller than stock which required me to cut away some of the old headrest foam to get them to fit properly.  Ideally you would not use the SACC headrest covers if your originals are in decent shape.  Also, I noticed the new SACC foam raised my seating position by about an inch so be aware of that.  I guess this is the difference between sitting on new foam instead of 40 year old compressed foam inserts.  After a few months of driving it seems they are moving lower as they compress a bit with use.  I mention this as you will lose some headroom with the SACC new foam seat material.  I had another Pantera owner tell me he had the same experience with the change in seating position height.  None-the-less, the SACC kit is great, looks good and I was able to do it myself after watching some online training videos and buying hognose pliers and rings.   Mike R.
