This video is by far, hands down, the best video you've done. No idle chatter, no attempts at comedy, just great usable information. Thank You. Thank You. I did my 69 Mach I seats a couple of years ago. PITA. This video would have helped a lot. I may have to take off the covers and try it again. Not as scary the second time.
Another well done video. Upholstery seems to scare a lot of people but it’s really not that bad. You just have to get in there and screw it up yourself. Home and automotive is all BASICALLY the same thing, just different material and systems. You just have to figure out how the materials you are using works. Thanks for inspiring people to just go for it.
My cousin used to have a 1967 Mercury Cougar. The seats were IMO that gosh awful green that Ford used back in the 60's. He spray dyed the seats a light gray and painted the outside a two tone of Jet Black from the window line up and from the window line down it was Silver. Now I'm not really a fan of Black or Silver but on his car the combo looked pretty good. The spray dye that he used was Dupli-Color in a spray can. I thought at first he had recovered his seats and he said no I sprayed them. In the very small town where I live there is only one woman who does upholstery and she's retiring. I'm glad I got her to do the headliner in my 67 Mustang Coupe a few years ago.
I had a 1968 Cougar. It had a weird combination of black carpet, headliner, and dashboard with everything else being white...seats, door panels, kick panels, console...all of it. Maybe everything looked good new, but all the white was badly yellowed on mine. I used spray can upholstery spray and was happy with the results.
Step 1 leave the covers in the sun for about an hour. A nice a soft cover is a whole lot easier to work with. Also a hair dryer helps warm it so you can move things around and work out any wrinkles.
If you do one for the RSX Type S i bet ppl would love it!
Nice job
Watching this makes me want to make videos again...
Nice video!
Doesn’t anybody manufacture the foam yet?
Oh God, I did my seats on my 61 comet, what a pain in the ass...
Steve, is there another wire under the foam that you hog ring the listing wire to?
What is the ring tying the rod and seat cover to, just the seat foam or something sturdy inside the foam? This seems like it will tear out. Thanks
I’m more confused now than before I watched this video. Is there another wire underneath that your attaching the hog rigs to or are you just attaching them to the foam? Seems like they would tear out easy?
Sorry that it is unclear for you. We attach to the seat frame. There are rods that pass through the same area as the indentions in the buns.
I haven't done it, but are you aware of the trick of covering the foam with a garbage back before working the cover on? Maybe it's hard to get all the garbage back material removed, but it's also hard to work a seat cover over the foam. I'd like to see a video on dying upholstery. I've done it and been pleased with the results, but I'm sure I don't know everything I'd like to about it.
have you used vacuum to compress the seat back aiding in the recover?
I've never tried that I'd like to see how it would work
Please show how to dye the covers.
I stumbled upon your videos. Have you ever had your elbow look at? I think you might just have tennis elbow. Easy fix.
Bursitis. I have gout and arthritis too. Could get them drained but doc says it will just come back.
Just stay away from the hogring pliers that you get free with a bunch of amazon hogrings. Major pain!
Hi sir.Do you have insragram to chat please
