Installing seat upholstery
« on: September 08, 2008 - 09:24:59 PM »
I remember seeing a posting here someone put up that had great step-by-step instructions with pics of installing new upholstery. Can some one lead me to it?

One thing you need to buy is the hog ring pliers and the rings.  I bought them at a local hide and leather shop.  The back seat is easy but the front buckets can be difficult.  I haven't seen a post or DIY instructions for this in a long time unfortunately.

Try http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ridesthatrock.com/

Unfortunately it looks like almost none of the pictures were archived, so all thats left is text descriptions.  I only checked a couple of the dates, though.

Well, got the upper and lower all done and looks mighty fine if I do say so myself. The wife and son even got in there and clamped a couple hog rings. Ended up with a minor rip in the corner of the upper that might even had already been there when I started but it's so far hidden it will never be seen.
