    I did an interior on a 55 Chevy a few years ago. I had no clue what I was doing at first. I bought a 25year old JUKI and watched lots of TH-cam videos like yours. Since then,I’ve had many people make me offers to do their cars! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

    You’re a true craftsman Spanky! You’re doing things most people push off on the upholstery guy… my mom did upholstery when my dad did cars! It’s a ton of work …..and you are the man!

      I made them in another episode. They are copies of other seats I’ve bought in the past. Because of the car and size it was better to build these instead of buying. Thanks for watching and please make it a habit.

    What density of foam do you use, I’m building a 32 roadster and watching all your videos, thank you for all the content and help

    • @SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
      @SpankysHotRodsandCustoms  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have part numbers for what I used and believe it in the video or the Impala seat video. The back foam is much softer than the butt seat foam . I’ll look and try to help. Got to my info page and send me a email. Spankytire@yahoo.com .
