Hi Jerry. I've watched a ton of your videos over the last few weeks. You're definitely one of my favorite youtubers when it comes to auto body work. Down to earth and straight to the point. I'll be painting my truck in the next few days after doing some rust repair. Can't tell you how much you helped! Thanks for all the tips, tricks and videos!!

Back in the early 70's my dad built and sold truck box campers. He'd do the design, planning and building and my mom did all the upholstery, all of it. Looked like a factory manufactured RV when finished. I remember watching my mom do seats like that and watch her do the hog rings and get everything lined up and pulled tight. I never tried it, I was just a kid. A dumb kid who didn't pay much attention to his moms work and later in life found out it wasn't nearly as easy as you and mom made it look. This is one skill/talent that I can't/don't want to do, and I'm gonna be ok with that. I'll continue to hire out my upholstery work. You're a much more skilled and well rounded tech than I am, Jerry.
Great job. Have an awesome weekend

Upholstery work is something I've done quite a few times on my own stuff, but I can think of a lot of things I'd rather do. Custom automotive upholstery shops earn their money. There's a lot of skills involved from sewing to fitting plus it's just hard work. All that pulling and prodding makes for some very strong hands. My hat goes off to those people. Thanks for the video. I had no idea of the availability of cushion bottoms for all the many makes and models of cars. It's good info.

Great vid Jerry, nice to see a modern seat being re done. I've only ever tackled vintage car seats.

Hi Jerry. You sure made that look easy. You did an awesome job on the seat. I have see some people do covers for their seat and they sure made a mess of them. Will be writing to you soon. Have a great eeekend Jerry!

Where do I look for covers? Our small motor home seats are peeling and need to be replaced. I am very capable to replace the seat cover……..I just do not know where to look.

Great content! Thanks. How do you remove the old original hog ring? Is there a special tool for this? Should you cut them in half first for easy removal?

[algiordano]

Hey sir do you have any shop or contact in maryland?

[Charger]

I already know how to do that but don’t you think you should have told where to start from and where to work around replacing the hog rings. Plus you didn’t show how you got it apart. Just my opinion.
