Jeep Grand Wagoneer Restoration Part 3 The Seats

[@mattbrown5511]

the people you are hiring to do the work are doing an awesome job.

[@jcfc8197]

Oh sweet, great video! I’m going to order the tan corduroy fabric, so I can have it on hand when I redo my seats.

[@ChristopherWisnoski]

Picking up an 87 GW to restore in the next few days. Can't wait, love these FSJ's.

[@alexnaranjo3299]

Another video! About time! I almost forgot about your wagoneer build. It's a beast in the making

[@masonmethot3186]

Loving the restoration of it! I've found a really cheap '86 Grand Wag for only $3500. Seems in decent condition but the seats are also cracked. I've been trying to scavenge for all money possible to save up for it!

[@HamptonRutland]

mason methot good luck my friend! This stuff ain't cheap

[@masonmethot3186]

Hampton Rutland Not what I want to hear living on a $0 salary but thanks :D

[@HamptonRutland]

mason methot hahah! Sorry, it's worth it, you'll get there.

[@dirf554]

Great video just watched all three and I can't wait for the next part. Car looks great!!

[@ryanbroussard425]

Love your work! Great productions! I can tell you're passionate about whatever task you pursue!

[@courtneyhawkins7893]

How much did it cost to do the seats?

[@GaJeepr]

'bout time... J/K You know me. THAT JEEP guy. And all JEEP guys know the "make it rain" portion of your video. JEEP --> Just Empty Every Pocket. The big thing most Waggy owners look for also is the headliner. Got that covered yet. Phunny...Covered Yet. And fixing the stuff like the trim. Well, I fall back to Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. Trust in it and it will never fail you.

[@HamptonRutland]

Scott McIntyre there ain't nothing cheap about a Wagoneer restoration!

[@TheMarcball]

very cool, never mind the disappointed fellers, keep on trucking ! (from France)

[@HamptonRutland]

MakeFix thanks brother!

[@wyattpark8146]

We bought an '89 Wagoneer a couple years ago. Right now I'm rebuilding the engine, but the interior/exterior is next on the list. The window and door rubber seals are all cracked and useless, so it can't drive in the rain. Team Grand Wagoneer has a weatherstripping set, but it's over $800. Any suggestions on a cheaper alternative?

[@BruceAUlrich]

Coming along nicely!

[@J8W1L1A]

Awww yeah, love getting your uploads in my sub box

[@HamptonRutland]

Monstrosinator thank you my brotha!

[@Codethe_Road]

The seats turned out really well;

[@MrClarkisgod]

Celldweller Imperial March remix if anyone is interested about the song at the end of the video.

[@HamptonRutland]

Altair Ibn-La Ahad very good!

[@richardwarmack287]

If you ever do another restore and you need interior work, try Faries Top And Trim in Shreveport. My family was in the auto business for over 50 years, and we used them all the time. They have some outstanding images of their work on their Facebook page. I remember when we would carry all our used cars up and have Landau half tops put on them to increase the value. It was a 70's thing. LOL

[@Area959]

Another great video

[@bobg4840]

Another great video, thanks!

[@0xXAllForNothingXx0]

So how many does a wagoneer seat? Are there seatbelts for 5 or 6 people? Thanks

[@jacobbaasch3164]

Love the videos! Keep them coming

[@VinceW187]

This is such a awesome project. I will accept your cheating ways of adding more parts to this series :) Don't forget to add them to the playlist, this part is not in the playlist.

[@aaroncastro6410]

Hey Hampton, I noticed you have small children and I was wondering about car seats in the Wagoneer. My wife and I are liking to buy one but have concerns about how a car seat is secured. Do the middle bench seats have the tie down latches most modern cars have? Any info would be appreciated!

[@michaelellul7521]

carve out the back of the join and it should sit true for your mouldings.

[@creteben]

Heat up the trim with a heat gun just stay a foot away so it doesn't burn

[@HamptonRutland]

We did that and it worked for a couple days before it remembered it wanted to be bent

[@porternull1817]

this is awesome

[@mrs.d4167]

Sweet vid

[@PandaDave]

First comment, I love your Wagnoneer, looking for one myself

[@samuelbradburn3871]

I've looked for that shirt... Where can I get one?!

[@waypointwatchco.1694]

Same!

[@HamptonRutland]

Samuel Bradburn my wife had it made custom with vinyl iron on stuff. I've thought about having some made to add to the other LAMP T-shirts, but I don't want to make a bunch and not sell any

[@samuelbradburn3871]

I designed one almost exactly like it last night. I would've had to order a minimum of 24 shirts though, I like it... but I don't like it enough to drop $350... If you design it, and have a link to the shirt in your videos, I'm sure they would sell in no time.

[@wherediputit]

Great videos Hampton, I really enjoy watching the progress being made (and dreaming of a GW in my future)! I'd suggest looking into The Printful for t-shirts, they do print on demand, so no need for ordering and not selling (although I'd definitely buy one too!) For the trim that is giving you a problem, one thing that came to mind when I saw what was happening was maybe you should try treating it like crown molding and effectively "cope" the back side of the trim right where it miters there? Not sure if it would work, but that is what came to mind! Keep up the great work!

[@rivergriff]

Wow! That gentleman did an amazing job on the seats! Glad there are still artists willing to take the time for special projects.

[@ricardoloeza9368]

gracias Atn. Mexico

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Are you guys in Monroe?

[@HamptonRutland]

joegolden481 West Monroe yes.

[@DiomedesArgos]

CA glue work on that trim, Doc?

[@HamptonRutland]

Geoff Else we used double sided 3M and cut the piece to relieve the pressure and it worked so far

[@ricardomagana]

Hampton Rutland can you trim inside the foam slightly like coping trim woodwork??

[@jasonmcc68]

I was going to say cut the pieces apart and it should take the stress out of it and join up nicely.

[@grantwbrewer]

I know this sounds pitiful, but I want to hang out with this guy. How does it go, "I know if we met, we could be best friends!" Great work on the Jeep and the video Hampton.

[@MrWagoneer]

great job! ;)

[@jeepchievous]

More!

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

My bro who is the ent married a girl from oak ridge

[@TheGregWallace]

Use real wood. You like using wood....Problem solved. Use teak. it's used on very expensive yachts. In the end it will look better.
