I went through a vendor, Dantes? Maybe I was lucky, black '69 buckets, had them almost right away. Get a real pair of hog ring pliers and hog rings. Any farm supply store should have them.

Hog rings do vary somewhat.
I had a couple bags from Amazon that had a slight kink in the top. They were easier to crush and came out more round when going around a heavy wire on the frame.

Did mine front buckets about 1.5 years ago. Ordered from legendary, took 8-9 months to get them. I also ordered foam and the installation kit. I watched the legendary videos and a couple YouTube also. I took lots of pictures while taking them apart. A couple things: I switched the carpet to black and had some trouble getting some for the bottom of the doors because I didn’t order everything together. When I got the seat foam there was a bunch of scrap foam with them. Don’t throw it away. I should have put some extra in the edge of the insert area to fill it out more. They are fine the way they are but could have been just a little bit better. But my rear seats and door cards are all original and look decent. It’s just a driver. Oh and if you need seat backs order them at the same time as the cover too.

Doesn't matter. Real hog rings are a little larger in diameter. For the cost and convenience for them at a farm store, hands down the way to go for me. They do have different sizes, think that I used the red box. One hundred rings for $4 or so. The pliers are inexpensive too.

DO NOT buy cheap hog rings from Amazon. They are Chinesium imitations made from thinner gauge metal and are too short to work properly. Very frustrating. I ran short of the Legendary ones and needed some in a hurry.
I did the front and rear seats in my 64 Valiant convertible and they are perfect. I get compliments all the time.
I ordered a complete headliner to carpet interior from Legendary in January for my 69 Charger. Everything! (20% off sale) If you place the order at a big Mopar show when they are there, you get 20% discount. Some of the in stock items arrived right away with other things staggered over 5 shipments. The seat covers were last because they are not usually stocked but are made after they receive the order. Even so I think it only took 8 weeks to arrive.
