“Play off original” “it won’t ever be dated.” Reminds me of all the people who reupholstered their seats in ostrich leather. During the late aughts, it seemed like everyone was doing it. Now you don’t ever see anyone with it. The few you come across, I instantly think, “oh, you had the upholstery done in the late 2000s, didn’t you?”
I remember seeing 1959 GM factory footage putting front and rear seats in on the assembly line. I noticed wrinkles in the corners pretty bad actually on new seats. You did a great job on your rear seat you could of taught them how to cover seats have you ben around back then,LOL!..
Thanks for the detailed steps and materials required. Getting ready to do my '55. You might add links to show where you got the foam and what size hog rings.
You are a great builder next time a tip you might like on strengthering wire bend a 90 ON THE END 4 OR 5 INCHES LONG AND WHEN YOU TIE IT IN TO Opposing wire it will give entire structure strength and wire cannot slide through Hog rings
I really hope you make is or plan on coming to the Tri- Five-Nationals this year. We go every year and ill love to check your 55 out in person!!! It really looks good!!!
I bought a 64 Dodge 440 2 Door Hardtop a few weeks ago and someone had done both front and rear seats and really done a bad job foaming under the covers and now it’s all loose and drooping so I’m going to try this method on it when this icy weather here in Texas gets out of here.
When you said you don't like the smell of burlap it made me think of the line in Wildwood fire song "Bets the hell out of sniffing burlap"
