Another great video. I like how you take the time to show us, and explain the work you are doing, thanks Lee.
Thanks!!
Enjoyed episode and learned I’ll take my upholstery to a professional..
Haha you can always send your upholstery work here! Jim and I will do it!
@@LGKustoms Will do..live in Spokane, gas and fairies will kill me.
Errr ferries!
That was amazing watching it come together. Looked great in the car!! We’ll done!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video, It nice to learn what true tuck and roll is and how to do it.
Thats the coolest minivan set ever.
HENRY would have loved that. The colours are perfect !
Nice work Lee. You are very talented
Thanks Bob!
Just found your videos and i learned a lot. Im off into old cars and I want to do as much of the work as I can. Thank you for sharing your Knowledge.
Thanks for watching!
That looks great! When I was child labor in my dads shop back in the sixties, We always did tuck & roll with individual strips of Naugahyde or leather sewn together ( I liked the bass boat metal flake best) & then glued strips of foam into the channels.
This is way faster. Thank you.
Super video and very helpful showing the order things come apart and go back together.
You make it look easy. I learned a lot, thank you for your talented craft and great instruction.
Well done, learned a lot!
Very good work….I really like it….very good video
really enjoyed this video
Awesome!
Looks awesome. You do it all. Great videos.
Thanks
Killer seat man ! From a mini van seat that’s amazing
Thanks Karl!
I do all to restore cars except upholstery and have 2 cars ready for interiors in a couple of months. The 2 good upholsterers our car clubs know of in Seattle area are booked out 8-9 months. I'm a bit old to be driving around on a milk crate again but I will if I have to. The skilled labor shortage includes engine and trans rebuilders, collector car body/paint shops, plating shops and all the support groups I need to build homes. Same for the machining industry. One group we don't have a shortage of is government bureaucrats.
Awesome job on the seat!!! Great video! 😎👍
Thanks Steve!
Excellent video👍👍
Thanks Andy!
Great Job with the seat covers. Thanks for explaining it all out so well !!!!!!!
I’ve got a couple more videos coming up on sewing seat covers, and how to make patterns and foam from scratch when you only have bare springs to work with. They’ll be out sometime in February, so make sure to check back in!
good job man.enjoyed watching.
Cool! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video…amazing work!
Thanks!
This video was great! Thanks! I learned a lot for doing the interior in my 49 Pontiac. 🍻🤘😎🤘
Awesome!
WoW! Never seen this done before. You are a great teacher! 👍
Thank you
That looks incredible 👍👍
Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Even tho it was long, it was worth the time and very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video! You are just a jack of all trades.
Thanks. Not all trades, just car stuff haha
Lots of thought, measuring and a steady hand. Looks great.
Thanks Don!
Great Video!
Thanks!
Love it.... Great Job on the seat as well as the instructional information. Have the same seat to put in my 29 pickup. Will soon be attempting my first upholstering project of this scale and this video will be a great resource/reference. HB
That’s awesome! I bet it’ll turn out great!
Admirable work ethic, well done Sir!
Thanks!
Fantastic
nicely done dude!
Thank you
Good video, Thanks!
Excellent video! I really learned alot about upholstery. You're a talented guy.
Thank you!
Awesome job!!! I'm just starting to try my hand at upholstery and this video helped explain so much! Keep up the good work.
Cool! That’s awesome you learned something from this.
that looks awesome
Thanks!
Nice work .
Thank you! Cheers
Very nice!
Thanks!
Thanks for this video it was very informative and complete thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great job Lee.....:-)
Thanks
What a awesome video that was very interesting loved it thanks 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Thanks Badge
Wow, great work! Thats one of the coolest minivan seats i've seen so far
Not bad! Haha
@@LGKustoms Just curious, whats the price range(in general, not yours) for an upholstery jobs like this in Canada?
That was a very informative video - thanks!
Thanks!
Really enjoyed that just wanted to say that Brent from half-assed customs stopped by that's how found out about your show so far really impressed 👌
Awesome! Thanks. Did he bring Pablo?!
great video
Thanks!
...hi Lee....thanks for the tuck and roll master class...I've always heard about it....never knew exactly what it was......great video........
Thanks
this was awesome to see. thank you for sharing, i wouldn’t mind to see you upholster a door panel also.
I’ll have to do a door panel video on another car, we finished this car yesterday and it went home.
But my 32 will need all the interior panels made!
I really enjoyed this video. About 20yrs ago I restomodded a 63 Mercury meteor 2dr post on a tight budget. I didn’t make much money then. Mom can sew very well so we took the original seat upholstery apart like you did. We changed the inserts to a custom black material with blue stripes that matched the new paint on the car. I had a local guy die the original vinyl on the seats white. It came out really well and it cost me very little which is all I could afford at the time LOL
That’s great!
Well, I'm impressed. Pretty obvious that at one point in your life this is how you made a living. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It’s still how I make a living. This seat was for a customer.
@@LGKustoms Kool!
looks good
Thanks
Seat turned out great! Nice job. I'm sure there is a better SEM vinyl die for those covers. Thanks for showing us the process.
Thanks! We ended up just leaving them. Once the seat is in the car, you hardly see them.
Nice job
Thanks
Thank you that was great, didn't seem that long, I would like to see the piping being sewed on, up close. I think the seat really looks the part.
Sorry about the piping part. Basically you just wrap the vinyl strip around a piping core, and sew it. I have a piping foot on my sewing machine that holds everything in place.
Cool thanks
beautiful job , i did the seat in my 66 f100 . i cheated and used some extra pre pleated material and piping i had for two of my impala convertibles .
it was the first seat i ever made the upholstery for and it turned out real nice , now i have some tips from you so i can do even better on my 59 and 60 impala convertible interior's
i like how you used 1/2 inch foam on the unpleated areas i used 1/4 inch , and i like how you used the thick foam to pad up the whole seat .it looks great.
Cool! I hope the Impala turns out great!
amazing "lee" done ... thanks
🤣
I've done some of my own upholstery work before with mediocre results. It's always nice to watch and learn from a professional.
Cool! Hope you learned a few tips!
Yep, I have to redo the original split bench seat on my 37 HUDSON but I don't think I'm ready to give it the quality of work that it deserves.
Hi Lee and Shannon , Lori's the one that watched this one start to finish . She knew exactly what seat you started with , there's one in the shed / workshop behind the garage. Often you could hear her comment just before or as you were explaining what the next step was . Seat looks great to me , will be excellent in the Model A .
Haha that’s great!
You and Brent from halfass kustoms make it look easy.
It is easy! Just takes practice!
The tuck n roll in my 56 chevy was 2" in the mid 60s.
Those plastics would look better in the maroon. Great looking seat
We didn’t even use them in the end. With the seat back in the car, they were out of site.
SKILLS !!
Haha thanks!
Great job 🎉. You must have done this before ? Just like a pro , looks professional.
Haha thanks. I’ve been doing professional upholstery for years!
I just found your channel - I like how well you explain what and why you're doing things.
After your initial 'pleat stitch' and you fold it over how far away is the second parallel stitch.
I'm sure the 3/4" you add per 'roll' takes this into account.
I'm not half way thought and I've already given you a thumbs up and subscribed - thanks
It’s the width of the seam allowance, or 3/8”
thanks
Thanks for the video very informative I'm sorry I don't know how to share. Sorry.
Thanks for watching!
Killer job! I've been collecting my own upholstery kit to start. For my 2nd machine I scored a 25in long arm!! What lapel mic system you using?
That long arm would be nice!
This is what I use for a mic.
Leereel 2 Pack Wireless Lavalier Microphones for iPhone iPad, 2.4GHz Plug & Play Lapel Clip-on Mic for TH-cam TikTok Interview Live Stream Video Recording - 3 Levels Noise Reduction, Auto Sync a.co/d/i5NDSy7
Nice video! I just subscribed. I am new to this and have a question. Could we also make the 'tuck & roll' completely cover the flat part of the back and the bottom, with a french seam on the edges instead of welt? Thanks for the good video of the great looking new seat!
Phillip Hall
Yea of course! There are countless different variations you could do.
@@LGKustoms
Thanks !
Nice job!!! Is there anything you can't do....lol
I’m not a very good dancer
I no what your saying about the sticky English pubs Lee but now there has been a smoking ban inside pubs there much better. Plus you clothes don’t reek the morning after. I as a none smoker used to hate that. Your upholstery looks a great. Nice and tight . Could you tell me if it was a little loose could you tighten it up with steam? . Many thanks Tim.
I rarely use steam. It doesn’t really tighten anything, it just make the material hot and stretchy and relaxes everything.
Ok the opposite to what I was thinking I thought it would shrink as it cooled. Cheers
Awesome video, what type of machine do you use for your sewing?
It’s a 1956 Singer industrial.
Try almond paint that might match
Everyone looks at my confused when I say I'm going to use a minivan seat in my model A, I need one of those seat cover, that's beautiful. Do you make and ship them covers?
No unfortunately I don’t. It’s definitely something I’ve thought about doing, but I have so much on plate already, and only so many hours in a day!
Darn , need to find someone local that can make me one this nice, I'll have to tell them to watch this video and make me one just like it in just black 👍
Hello Sir,
What of walking foot sewing machine do you use and recommend?
Mine is a singer. Like buying a welder, stick with a common brand name so you can buy parts if something breaks. Singer, Juki, Phaff are all good names. And make sure it has reverse so you can do a lock stitch.
@@LGKustoms thanks very much. Keep on helping us please
Middle row seat correct. I have one just like it. How much would you charge just to do a seat like that. Just sew the seat covers and then a guy can just take the seat apart and put it back together themselves.White with green pleats is how I would like mine tuckn roll.
Probably around $1500 to sew up covers like these including materials and labor.
@@LGKustoms I could probably do the foam work myself.
Good choice in using vinyl, I imagine it’s way more fart resistant than cloth
Fart resistance and makes shart cleanup a breeze!
Re: Canadian Thanksgiving. On January 31, 1957, the Governor General of Canada Vincent Massey issued a proclamation stating: "A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed - to be observed on the second Monday in October. So the Canadian Thanksgiving is based on the traditional time of Canadian harvests not on an actual historical event like our American neighbours. Cheers.
Makes sense!
So,how much do you charge for a seat like this?
$90/hr plus materials. This seat took 16 hours.
How did you know this setup requires 3/4" for tuck and roll? Is this just something you know from experience with this thickness of sew foam an vinyl?
You have to allow 3/8 seam allowance on both sides of the pleat. 3/8 x 2 is 3/4”
@@LGKustoms Ahh ok. Just to be clear you make the seam down the middle, fold it on the seam then sew the closing stich 3/8" from the edge of the fold.
What would be the charge for having this done
Labor rates differ depending on where you live. I charge by the hour, and this seat took 16 hours @ $90/hr and about $350 in materials.
I only have one personal comment, I like the Cavaleros better!
They’re working on a new album!
Have you ever heard of the "NEATER PLEATER"?
No? I’m intrigued… go on…
@@LGKustoms It is for marking lines for T&R and pleats. We were given a set (3) of them 30 or so years ago. Keyston Brothers was selling them back then for 49.99. I suppose at that time I could not fathom the benefit and did not buy a set. Many of the other trimmers in San Diego couldn't manage to squeeze out 50$ for three sheets of 1/8 inch clear plastic with holes drilled in them at varying widths either. So because of the lack of interest, my sales rep said We could have a set seeing as they didn't sell well and they were giving out a set per shop that walked in. I gotta say it has been a big hit in our shop. We have used it for T&R and other upholstery projects for all these years. They save incredible amounts of time, especially when you are doing multiple of the same thing. I wish they still made them. I have seen them for sale, at times past on ebay, but that was probably a decade or so back. You choose the sheet with the measurements you want, then rub the chalkboard eraser loaded with chalk dust over it and, viola! If you ever get the chance, get you one of these. Once you learn how to use them they are really helpful. A Trimmer's friend indeed.
@@guntotingtexan crazy! I’ve never heard of such a thing! That’s cool!
@@LGKustoms If you'd like I can send you pictures of ours. I use it practically every day for one thing or another. Such a handy tool. If you find a set for 50 bucks nowadays it's a bargain!
What's going on sith the ardun build?
Driveshaft is done
Brake lines are done
Clutch lines are done
Waiting for the next round of parts to arrive.
@@LGKustoms oh cool can't wait to see it finished hahahahahaha it's taking Matt years to finish his build on his ardun hot rod you've one upped him hahahahahaha 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😜 😄 😆 😂 now we don't have to wait to see what an blown ardun hot rod goes like you're going to show us how much better these heads make a flat head go right thanks for showing the world we Canadians have cool hot rods too
how much is it for you to build me a 32 ford three window coupe
That depends on what condition your three window is in, and what level you would like to take it to.
If this is something you’re serious about, send me an email. Lgspeedkustom at Gmail.com
am i the only one that's only able to see this in 360p?
Someone else mentioned that, and when I watched it last night noticed the picture wasn’t great. I’m not sure what went wrong, it was recorded and edited the same as all my other videos. I did have lots of problems uploading to TH-cam. It took three attempts and would keep crashing during the processing part of the upload. Maybe that’s where it went weird?
@@LGKustoms yea thats a bummer. well i guess ill just watch the video in blurOvision.
Did this band only make one song?
They have three albums, go check ‘em out! rodironhaulers.bandcamp.com
i can only get the quality to 360p not sure if you tube bugging out on me
I’m not sure. It was recorded and edited the same as all my other videos.
Wrap em in vinyl.
If it was my car, that’s probably what I would do.
@@LGKustoms really cool vid. I just got that same seat for a model truck. I'd like to do what you did but just getting it back together for now would be great.
bennie ..........using joyce's computer
I hope you said thank you! Haha
people dont know how much work go's into doing a seat when they are winging about the quote
You need to avoid the people who whine about the quote and focus on the people who appreciate the effort it takes
You should at least video the rest of the interior, if nothing its good build progress. you probably don't need the in depth detail. Although its always appreciated.
I’ll keep that in mind when the time comes to finish it.
It cracks me up that you guys try to refer to that thing as a model A. There's only a small piece of a model A on it, and I bet that's not even time period. Thats like calling a man a woman because he has long hair. It's simply a hot rod. The real model A would twist and break and be impossible to control under the strain of that power. Other than my pet peeve, great video.
But it is a Model A. It’s a stock 1930 Model A body. It’s on a Model A frame. It has a Model A grill. It even says Model A on the title!
Your description of pleating is not correct. There are many types of pleats in clothing, and you don't see the stitching in any of them. What you are showing as pleats are not pleats really. It is really just top stitching. A pleat always has a fold. The descriptor Tuck and roll tells you about the construction of them.
Ok, thanks
would have been great if this video didnt have the underlying annoying evil satanic crap box music in the backround
Devils in the details 😈 🤘
Paint them black you will never see them!
