Thread thread *MAJOR UPDATE*

[Sharkbit]

So some you know that I am redoing my seat covers over the winter. Retail price was too much to pay so I decided I would give it a try.

Here's the primary weapon

What I am working on today

Putting the colors together

Adding the welt

And the boxing

Here's what I've done today. Still need to cut new wood, and add some foam. Then I just staple the new covers on.

Here the hatch that I did a week ago.

Thats awesome man. Ive watched my best friend do upholstery now for 25 years.He's covered everything i own. He made my favorite old chair...my favorite new chair! He's covered every boat i've had-several Camaros and my Corvette.Its a tedious trade! You must be a natural-and have worked with your hands.Good job man! Practice is the key! clap.gif

I know your not opening up shop but you should dam you are a natrual.  After everyone is done doing there I want to rent that RIG from ya and take the white out of my seats and replace it with black.    It will look much better.    LOOKS GOOD CHAD keep up the good work.  keep those pics coming.
