The ULTIMATE Fox Body Mustang Upholstery How-To Guide (1979-1993)

I could watch these diy videos all day

Great job on the video tutorial Landan! As usual it's easy to follow, thorough and the description has all the timestamps plus materials/tools laid out. Kellie has a great looking GT, and now the interior will be like new.

Thanks! -Landan

Great video as well. LMR always provides the best content. I would like to see how the Acme upholstery compares to the TMI for the black and also gray cloth seating options VS factory. What does the material look like? How is the fit and finish?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thanks, Jon. Both are good options. We'll see about doing a more in-depth video on the two. I can't guarantee anything, though. -Landan

Can't you media Blas the seat tracks to give them a fresh look? I'm sure crushed walnut shells will do the trick.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Yep. That's actually what we did to freshen up one of the frames. Check out the video below. -Landan Lower Seat Frame Resto Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2GvmYame7t8nJY

Thanks for the video. What stapler did you use ? I used a jt21 and it will not penetrate the plastic. Thanks

[@latemodelrestoration]

I used an Arrow JT21 gun. You have to keep pressure on the staple gun to focus as much energy as you can at the nose of the gun. Hope that makes sense. -Landan

Thanks, i will give it a try

I notice you didn’t do the bottom of back seat where it was to long

[@latemodelrestoration]

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. If the material needs to be pulled tighter, go ahead and do it and then install a hog ring. It won't hurt to install a hog ring through the actual vinyl or leather. You won't see it underneath the seat. -Landan

[@tylerdurden9215]

What about the small headrest

[@latemodelrestoration]

The process is the same. -Landan

[@tylerdurden9215]

@@latemodelrestoration did you have to modify or cut down material

[@latemodelrestoration]

@@tylerdurden9215 - No. You purchase the kit that is correct for your seats and it will come with the proper headrest size. We have an article explaining what style of seats came equipped in Fox Body Mustangs. I'll link it below. -Landan lmr.com/products/mustang-fox-body-seat-guide

[@tylerdurden9215]

The rear carpet is way to wide to fit the seat

[@latemodelrestoration]

I responded to your previous comment with the recommended solution. Option 2 would be to have an upholstery shop add foam to the existing cushion. Some people go this route, some don't. It's up to you. Let me know if you have any other questions. -Landan

Nice work.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you! -Landan
