Man, you make this look so easy. 😆. I love the experience part to the past comments. What you do is a lost art. Today it's cheap covers and so on. Not many can appreciate what it is you do. I worked at a new car Lincoln- Mercury dealer right out of high school. I was fascinated watching the interior shop install leather interior and vinyl tops.
I don't know if you remember , but I contacted you a few months ago. I asked roughly how many " labor book" hours it was to recover seats from a 88 corvette. You responded back and I thank you for your time.
I just bought back my 1988 corvette last year. The interior was ruined by the last hurricane that came through Florida, which I live. I got the alert about your new video about corvette seats and had to watch. A 1975 would be " C 3 " corvette. Mine is a C4. I have a few more questions if you don't mind me asking.
1) I have decided to restore my 1988 corvette back to all original. When you quote a job to recover the seats, do you make the seats or use pre made kits . then install the kit.
I.plan on buying a factory dealer set of corvette seat covers still in the box. Then have then installed. If I were to bring my seat kit to my upolster he should charge me less to install. Am I correct. Or am I missing something. What would be the price range to install the factory covers over the seat and refome the seat to be made new. I. Will be 50 in July and have never once done. Any interiors work. I learn so much from you video over video. I've learned a lot from your channel. Could you do me a favor and either say this job took me about. Xyz . I think others would like to know roughly how much time to expect when we go get out work done locally. Thank you again for sharing your tricks to the trade with us. Take care my friend. God Bless
Hello Volkswagon, Thank you so much for hanging in there with me! Wow, a lot to answer there. Prices will depend on the person doing the work, their experience, skill, location, design of the seat and materials chosen. It is really up to the customer, sometimes they might buy a seat kit then have me install it. I don't like seat kits that much because sometimes they don't fit right and I have to spend extra hours tring to make them fit. Or make them as you see here. It took me about a week to do the pair of Corvette seats. Thanks for watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery thank you for responding. Take care and have a good day. See you on the next video.

Hello Unfinished, I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Amazing to watch how you rebuild these seats. Forty three years of experience and know how has created a great craftsman. You make a complicated process appear to be simple, even though it’s not.

On the 1/2 inch scrim, you say use the good stuff with quality fabric. I could not tell from the video which side of the scrim (fabric or foam) goes against the back of the leather when gluing the two pieces to each other before sewing.
You are an inspiration. Thank you.
Hello John, Thank you so much for saying so. The foam side is what gets glued to the material. The fabric side is on the back which holds the thread from crushing the foam. The fabric backside also helps to slide through the sewing machine. Please keep liking and watching!
Excellent Work ! Upholstery Master!😎
Hello I88, Thank you so much! I am blushing now... Please keep watching!

Great Video! Working with different designers in automotive and residential furniture, I learned quickly that everyone has their own names for certain parts. A good product development person learns to adjust and do it the way that makes sense to the production operation of the manufacturing facility. Good work!
Hello Richard, Thank you! I found out about name changes after I started making videos... Thanks for watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery The nice thing about having your own shop is you can call it anything you want, forget about the naysayers.

Thanks for your help I’m going to start a new upholstery business l hope it works out
Thanks again
Hello Wally, I think you will do just fine with your new business. Just don't make the mistake that I did. When I first started out, I did mostly car dealers. I wasted so much time doing that. After some years, I finally realized, "Why do the same work for half the price?" I turn down work from dealers now. You will make so much more money with retail customers. I hope this is advice you can take with you always. Also watch this: ua-cam.com/video/WOuzM5UPqM4/v-deo.html 5 Secrets To Charge Big Money Doing Upholstery! Hobby To Business.

Amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing your secret old school tigh to the spring technique. I was always wondering how this is done. Yours is simple, clear and solid.
Now only if I find that straight needle. 🙏
respect.. I found your channel looking for tips installing my opg interior kit in my 70 GTO immediately seen your the expert in the field and found myself binge watching your entire play list to absorb just a small fraction of your tips and Technics and im certain that my interior (3rd one iv e done over 25 yrs) will turn out far better by implementing your information to my install as well as understand more how this kit is not going to look perfect however just the info of using contact adhesive instead of spray out of a can is priceless ... thanks for the info and keep up the great videos...i subscribed as well u deserve it for sure

Those turned out great ... one question ... I see when they do french seams they always put a strip of material over the two flaps for double strength ... is that necessary?

Nice artistry! It takes patience to perform at high levels of quality. It's always
recognized and should be compensated for appearance. Some of the greatest interiors
came from the fifties thru the seventies. They should bring back those designs...after all,
we do ride on the inside!

Hello Scott, You are so welcome! I hope you sub and binge! I have many videos and more to come. Please keep watching!
I love your videos! I was a parachute rigger in the Air Force for many years. We got merged with another career field and picked up upholstery and some other things when that happened. I wish we would have had an instructor as skilled as you when I was learning how to do this stuff. You are an artist! One question I have is how breathable is vinyl compared to leather? I’ve always heard leather was the best, but since you said that leather in that corvette has plastic applied over it, it seams that maybe that’s a myth 🤷🏻♂️
Hello Thurl, Rigging parachutes sounds exciting! Neither vinyl or coated leather would be breathable as far as air passing through it. There is uncoated leather that is mostly used to manufacture leather goods. But I also doubt that would be breathable. Please keep liking and watching!
I just found your channel and im liking the way you show your trade. For the last 13 years ive been restoring leather steering wheels and about 5 years ago I upholstered the seats in my pickup in leather. Ok, i used 1/4" headliner for my foam. Note to self, but also so far so good. I will correct my ways. Looking forward to more videos!

You do quality work … What soft leather do you like to use ?
I had my 70 Chevelle seats redone in 2014 and the guy that did them use a stitch, called baseball stitch, which I really like it was in a red color and my seats are a charcoal gray
Hello Freddie, Well, Douglas leather or Connelly leather are both really good. Sounds like you have a really cool '70 Chevelle! Please keep liking and watching!
You do such beautiful work! Reminds me of one of my uncles who passed away a few months ago. He worked mostly on aircraft interiors for a living but did show cars and boats on the side in his garage. When I was younger I had asked him how he learned to do what he did and he said he would take old upholstery apart at the seems and use that as a pattern for the new covers just as you yourself are doing. I really enjoy watching your videos just as I enjoyed watching my uncle do his work.
Hello BigD, Sounds like some great memories... Thank you so much for all of your kind words. Please keep watching!

@@oldschoolautoupholstery There’s a saying that I love, “Live Like Most People Won’t, Then Live Like Most People Can’t”. Sir, your techniques are helping me to change the color of an interior of a brand new Escalade. So far, it’s coming out perfectly.
What you’re teaching provides an opportunity for another human to make a nice income! So yes sir, you deserve it and after the job is complete, I will sending much more. Thank you!
Thanks for the amazing videos and sharing your years of experience! I’ve restored multiple cars, trucks and motorcycles and was always amazed by the “magic” involved in making new seats.

Sad that your had to make a disclaimer. Todays folks just plain suck while they think they know so much. These are the same folks that binge watch youtube and view Pinterest and in their mind are experts. I for one would have comments off.
Seats look awesome!

Hello Jeff, Thank you so much! Please keep watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery I have been upholstering for 30 years but only furniture .Just seeing how it's done.Did a couple bench seats over the years.Sometimes when I sew leather it won't slide so I put silk film down or spray my sewing machine top with silicone .Putting clothe back foam helps out I see
@@jeffcoleman5160 Hello Jeff, There is always more than one way to get something done for sure! Please keep watching!
You mentioned that the foam was simpler because the old foam wasn't damaged. I have a side that's badly (sun?) damaged, a few inches of foam disintegrated. What do you different then? And/or do you have a video of foam rebuilding/repair?
Hello Webbed, Oh yea. Check out this foam repair video ua-cam.com/video/N14VbKUdctk/v-deo.html Please keep liking and watching!

Another great video. Do u trim the after u sew the .5 inch down to make it fit if you are not doing a French seem or anything like that . Tks
Hello Andrew, if sewing a French stitch, I leave a sewing allowance from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch. Please keep liking and watching?
Well thanks man you just answered a question I've been wanting to ask you for months.
How do you install listing wires to create bolsters on a seat that never designed with bosters or listing wires?
I now now I can use string and go completely through the new foam and tie it off to new wires which I will install on the underside of the foam.
Thanks
Hello Lawrence, You never know what you will see, that's why you need to keep watching! That sounds like a perfect way of getting it done! Thanks for watching!
