Thank you so much! I needed something fun to watch that was not politics, violence or war. Then your video popped up, perfect! Thank you and great video.
I guess most of your viewers have not attempted this, so you are teaching us something new, well done it looks great. I’m intrigued how those hog ring pliers work it would be nice to see them in detail some time.
For a first time, that looks great! Im sure the next time you apholster something its going to get easier and look even better! People often forget you dont have someone who knows how to do these things holding your hand and helping while you do it. Sure you get advice, but its you and your dad figuring it out, and thats the amazing part. Yeah, it might not be "professionally done" but its "Personally done" and that makes the work and car so much better! Keep at it, you are doing great!!
Great Video and I am glad you used zip ties also. They ar so much more easier to use especially on seat back, however you still need hog rings to secure the foam to the seat.
As someone else said, you really want to add hog rings to that listing wire and not just zip ties. The zip ties will become brittle over time and snap.Also, to get rid of the creases once your're done, you can use a heat gun lightly or let the seats in the sun so the vinyl shrinks under tha heat and those loose or deformed spots will disappear.
Zip ties are ok to get everything aligned and closer together so you can get the hog rings around the listing wires and seat springs. I'm afraid the zip ties alone will fail in no time. Sorry, I hope I'm wrong.
That's a good point. We've had the seats in for a bit since we shot this, but we'll be pulling them out when we do the carpets. That might be a good time to go back and add a few hog rings from the bottom of the frame and foam. Good call!
I always wanted bucket seats in the Falcon I owned but had to settle for the vinyl and deteriorated cloth seats patched with duct tape,I did have buckets and a floor shift console in my next car a '68 Dodge Dart GT, I thought I had it made then.
Well in my opinion you made hard for yourself as we always put the wire in the sleeve in the cover and hog ringed the cover through the foam and then to the seat springs. Also you can heat the cover with a heat gun or hair dryer to make it stretch more easily. Good luck as it takes a lot of hand and finger strength.
Yay! New video!
Yes! Glad you're back!! 😃😄😁

Your tutorial was great. Thank You for posting this. Ive never tackled interiors before; so your video was extra exciting for me.

Good point. Dad and I were thinking we should probably do that when we pull the seats back out to do carpet. Good to have that confirmed. Thanks!
Those seats look good great job .I'm glad your back I've missed your content .
Thanks and look for more soon!

I agree. When I did the seats for my Bronco I used zip ties to pull everything together, then installed hog rings.
Nice job. I will be doing the same to my ‘64 Comet Cyclone buckets as soon as my new foams arrive!
You did a great job!!!! Looks as good or better than professional jobs I've seen!!
I don't know about that but that's so nice of yo to say!!
