I watched that video, excellent work and he’s really good at explaining.

Really? I don’t know how to see new skins though. They came from legendary

I should also add that I turned the skin inside out to make it easier to access.

I pulled on the wrong spot while installing the seat skin and it ripped at the seam, here’s how I fixed it: carefully brush adhesive (I used some stuff in a bucket and a paint brush) to the affected area and a piece of muslin. Fold the ripped part onto the old seam and break out the ol sewing...

Here’s some more pics

I’ve been working on the seats for a 66 Charger. I just have 3 more frames to cover and I’m done! The rear seat back had these metal tabs that kept breaking off, so I used 1/8 rivets as a replacement

The rear seats are side specific. The bottoms are obvious but how do you know which side goes on the tops? (I don’t have the old vinyl for reference) One seam is straight and one is curved, which side goes on the console side?

I was thinking about using rivets in place of the tabs. Do you have a link to that post?

I noticed the original is two pieces of 1 inch thick cotton with a piece of burlap in between them and burlap sewn on the outside, did you do something similar when you replaced yours?

For those of you that did your own seats, did you use cotton padding in the rear tops like original or did you use some kind of foam? I tried using some 1” high density foam but it seems to be too thick

I need 4

There is also a company that sells new aluminum inserts

I know this post is old, but I had mine done through just dashes and they came out great! not cheap though

I'm looking for the seat medallions from a 69 RR or Satellite. I'm hoping somebody will repop them soon but if I can find a set cheap enough, I could polish them myself

Do you have a tailgate?
