Pretty sure that burlap had to go over the springs so they don't wear through the seat foam. Looks 1000 times better.👍👍

@carsonanderson89 2 жыл бұрын

Yes or you will wear out that foam in 6 months

@williamguillIII 2 жыл бұрын

yes on the burlap .goes in between the springs and foam to protect the foam from the springs the foam wont last very long....like your channel great job

You might be able to dye those seat belts too. Your interior definitely looks killer! Looks very high quality. The touch up pen is a great idea. But you’re well on your way to having a “perfect” interior.

@mrmoss149 2 жыл бұрын

Always clean & ( re) paint whatever you are working on- besides the peace of mind from knowing you did it right, it pays dividends on down the line, often times in ways you can't fathom yet. By learning to do something new, you add to your " wheelhouse".

@larrytheableguy3441 2 жыл бұрын

The seats turned out fine, don't beat yourself up about them. 2 things, the burlap is there for a reason, you should have been able to buy it. And put the pieces out in the sun makes them easier to work with.✌

For a first timer it looks really good. The heat gun is your friend when having to stretch the upholstery. After sitting on them and some time in the sun they'll settle in. Looks like a quality kit. The last seat I did was for an Olds 442. Had to have it ready for the next morning as the car was entered in the Northeast Olds Club weekend show. I started at midnight and finished at 3am. Wasn't a professional job but looked alright.

Hey man !! That tag is part of the vehicle's history. Who cares if the seats are in your truck now. How cool would it be for someone 20 years down the road to find that thing under the seat when they are redoing them their way? What is it hurting being hidden away under the seat like that ? That person that redoes them could be your kid. He just might get a kick out of it. I just found you from you riding with JYD on Power Tour and on Ford Era on that collaboration video. I have to go back and check out your other videos. Nice work though. Keep it up.

Use dry cleaning bags over the foam before you install the vinyl seat covers. It makes it a whole lot easier to install the seat covers. Looks good 👍🏼

Thanks to Craig doing a video a few years ago I found a set of black 65 Mustang seats in near perfect condition, bought the Autokrafters mount kit and put them in my 70 F250. I love them! WAY better than the stock bench for comfort and they look cool as Hell. Right on Craig, even an old geez like me can learn new and cool stuff.

Came out great. Nothing like having fresh seats - makes a difference at least I think. I had someone do my interiors though, I just don't have that kind of patience or time lol. But definitely, if you get a good guy or gal, pay their asking price because they deserve it.
