Seat foam (soft and medium soft remnants) was ordered from Dynamic Systems and arrived yesterday (Monday 4/8) . I have some medium left over from a friend's project and will use some of that too.
Remnants are available from Dynamic Systems (Sunmate): https://www.sunmatecushions.com/

My wife wasn't fond of me buying a sewing machine. Youtube was feeding me video suggestions from https://www.youtube.com/@oldschoolautoupholstery and he is located at Livingston TX. The airport is 00R (Zero Zero Romeo). Richard said he'd be available after April 14th to work on the seat covers.

Update 6/7/2024. Richard Rudolph (Rudolph's Upholstery in Livingston TX) had the seats ready so I picked them up today. He made a video here:
The seats are comfortable and need some minor tweaking. Now the old pads can go back on the patio furniture!
