Hi Jerry. I've watched a ton of your videos over the last few weeks. You're definitely one of my favorite youtubers when it comes to auto body work. Down to earth and straight to the point. I'll be painting my truck in the next few days after doing some rust repair. Can't tell you how much you helped! Thanks for all the tips, tricks and videos!!
You're very welcome. Great to hear you're painting your own truck - awesome! Let me know how it goes and if you have any ?s before painting :)
Upholstery work is something I've done quite a few times on my own stuff, but I can think of a lot of things I'd rather do. Custom automotive upholstery shops earn their money. There's a lot of skills involved from sewing to fitting plus it's just hard work. All that pulling and prodding makes for some very strong hands. My hat goes off to those people. Thanks for the video. I had no idea of the availability of cushion bottoms for all the many makes and models of cars. It's good info.
You're welcome - upholstery work is difficult for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Back in the early 70's my dad built and sold truck box campers. He'd do the design, planning and building and my mom did all the upholstery, all of it. Looked like a factory manufactured RV when finished. I remember watching my mom do seats like that and watch her do the hog rings and get everything lined up and pulled tight. I never tried it, I was just a kid. A dumb kid who didn't pay much attention to his moms work and later in life found out it wasn't nearly as easy as you and mom made it look. This is one skill/talent that I can't/don't want to do, and I'm gonna be ok with that. I'll continue to hire out my upholstery work. You're a much more skilled and well rounded tech than I am, Jerry.
Great job. Have an awesome weekend
You have a good weekend too Bruce. Your mom and dad must have been very talented folks to be able to do all that. Mon must have been pretty tough too :)
Hi Jerry. You sure made that look easy. You did an awesome job on the seat. I have see some people do covers for their seat and they sure made a mess of them. Will be writing to you soon. Have a great eeekend Jerry!
Thanks 👍 - I keep an eye out for your email :)
Great vid Jerry, nice to see a modern seat being re done. I've only ever tackled vintage car seats.
Not sure if you ever got upholstery from JCWhitney but that stuff fit pretty well. I did my 1973 Charger all with new upholstery from JC and it looked really nice :)
@@LakesideAutobody Awesome, will have to check them out
That really came out great and wasn't that hard with a little know how. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Rusty G - always a pleasure hearing from you my friend :)
Awesome, u must have known I needed this video. Next replacing rocker panels on 2005 chevy silverado.
I love new seats, clean interiors, etc. Makes the car much more enjoyable to drive. Good luck on your rockers - let me know how it goes for you :)
Better than new!! Nicely done Bud!!☻
Thanks 👍 but you're the king of upholstery for sure :)
My go to place for Pertinent information love it
Thanks Tracy - very kind of you :)
Great content! Thanks. How do you remove the old original hog ring? Is there a special tool for this? Should you cut them in half first for easy removal?
You can cut them with a side cutters - a good one will cut them easier than a cheap one :)
Bless First time seeing this job. Thanks 😊
You're welcome John - enjoy the weekend :)
Where do I look for covers? Our small motor home seats are peeling and need to be replaced. I am very capable to replace the seat cover……..I just do not know where to look.
Thanks for the clear easy to understand video! I’m
This is an OEM seat cover so you can get it from the dealership or Ebay. I would check ebay, amazon, JCWhitney used to carry tons of stuff for upholstery - not sure now though. Google what you need and go from there. Let me know if you need more help with that too if you can't find anything :)
Cool Jerry I want to do a bike seat sometime
👍😊
Where were you able to purchase the replacement cover for you specific seats? Thank you. Al, NJ
I purchased from ebay but you can find them at online dealership parts sites or a local dealership.
@@LakesideAutobody Thanks, my 2001 Jeep Cherokee 60th anniversary model leather seat are all perfect except the driver seat. Do you think they would still carry seats that old? Thanks again for the info. Al, NJ
@@algiordano9214 Do your seats look like this? www.ebay.com/itm/295343664103?fits=Model%3ACherokee%7CMake%3AJeep&hash=item44c3daabe7:g:vPUAAOSwodVjdTpo&var=593511035152 Only leather right?
Thank you!
You're welcome :)
Hey sir do you have any shop or contact in maryland?
I don't - I'm in MI
I already know how to do that but don’t you think you should have told where to start from and where to work around replacing the hog rings. Plus you didn’t show how you got it apart. Just my opinion.
👍 Got it. Have a good weekend and thanks for checking it out.
