Seat Upholstery | TMI | 1965-1968 Mustang

Bill shows you how to install TMI Seat Upholstery on your 1965-1968 Mustang.

Purchase Product Here:

Replace your faded and worn seats with some new, quality interior upholstery. This install features TMI upholstery, which helps you personalize the performance look you want for your Mustang's interior. This high quality upholstery and foam is built for any classic Mustang upgrade, from performance based to modern style or an original vintage look!

For this installation, Bill and Ben use TMI Sport II upholstery and the TMI Sport II foam, which are two of TMI's most aggressive, performance inspired upholstery products, yet still maintain that vintage look. The first step includes disassembly of your original seat. Once the original upholstery and foam has been removed, you can install your new TMI foam, which fits around the outer edge of the seat.

You will then need to install listing rods into your new upholstery, then attach it onto your seat and foam. Securing the upholstery to the back of the seat and the underside of the seat bottom is the last step to complete this installation.

This video has been a life saver! I took on the task of reupholstering my front seats in my 66 this weekend and I would have been lost without this video. The passenger seat is done (slightly imperfectly, but still looks great) and the driver’s seat is almost done. I’ve been leaning on wires in the driver seat for years, so it’s going to be amazing to have new foam (and vinyl) on my seat.

Very nice video. I usually remove the rust from the metal seat frames and paint them so they hold up better.

This is a good tutorial video. i watched many times before and during my rework.
heres some tips:
1 invest in a good pair of hog ring pliers AND cutters. common wire cutters will not work removing your missed hog rings
2 consider getting straight handle hog ring pliers, the angled units dont work well
3 get an extra set of hands to help, compressing foam and getting to the wires is tiring and frustrating
4 take care when ringing down the listing wires, they can tear out of the thin material TMI used to hold them in place
5 as stated, put material out is sun to soften, it makes stretching easier
6 be prepared to give your hands and forearms a workout, the sport foam is not easy to work with
7 consider hiring a pro to do it, what is your time worth?
i hate upholstery work, i'm in the middle of this now, so i will keep going. probably never do this again.

Looks like a great winter project cuz im sure this would take me like 3 months with lost Boss Hog rings and pliers being flung across the garage 🤠

I'm doing a custom build and have always liked this era of Mustang seats. Thanks to your video I have enough to build off of.

A couple of tips. Put your new vinyl covers out in the sun for a good hour or more, it softens the material and easier to work with.
2. use plastic grocery bags, or a dry-cleaning back, pulled over the foam, them the vinyl slips into place really easy.

Thanks for this awesome video. Must have watched it 10 times during my install. I have no experience installing upholstery. Your 22 minute video made me a pro. Got my pony upholstery and seat cushions installed in my 64 1/2 Mustang and I don't think the pro's could have done a better job. Your video covers everything but the rear seats but they are a breeze to install. I added a couple layers of quilting fabric to the rear seat bottom and it turned out AWESOME! Saved me $550!

Watching this makes me want to hire this out. Finally picked up a set of Sport II foams and covers. I had been wanting these since they came out with the original set, then the II looked even better. I've been working on this car that long.
I need seat backs also I see...

I had a 1965 mustang SC (southern california) with a soft  top, 785  Fairlane engine in a buff-orangey color with white upholstery.  I loved that car.

Well done guys you made it look simple but still to hard for me I think I will find a proffessonal to do mine

[MrNDboi]

just finished mine! looks awesome! did driver seat in couple hours by myself, turned out very well! it did tear a bit on the passenger seat upper, wow its tight going over the corners with the oem foam at the top. vinyl glue did wonders, lucky it was on the back near the seat back

[louierodriguez]

That was a great tutorial!!! Can't wait to re do my seats thanks!!!

[cameocakes]

Just a trick I used if you have weak hands you can use zip ties to help you get the material pulled into place and then hog ring them.

Is there any benefits to replacing the wire frames? Basically the whole seat? Or should I keep old frame?

[fatjeezus]

why weren't the frames painted for a much better look, can of black Rustoleum would have done wonders!!

[stefman]

Do this out in the sun on a nice warm day if possible.

[kylerjones]

By far the hardest part of this job is putting the seat back cover on. These guys totally gloss it over.

[jamescox]

Good tutorial, I will do mine tomorrow.
