I appreciate that you are now sharing how to do upholstery after so many years, it's a lost art. There are many of us restoring older cars at home, don't have the money to have parts recovered professionally and are willing to try and do it ourselves. Thank you for passing along what you've learned.

[@johncrankshaft2886]

I was replacing the factory covers on my 24 year old truck today, i realized that the driver seat had a broken wire and so i added 4 in a latice manner on top of the replacement one. Then i added a layer like this using the back vinyl off one of the old seats and finally spent a couple hours cutting out foam pieces and gluing on replacements. I spent in total about $90 since i had glue and foam from previous repairs i did; im pretty happy with end results given i had never done seat work before.

[@kefirheals7383]

Wow. Lovin your channel. Just found it. I'm a home sewer. Idabble in home upholstery (sofas, sofa chairs, dining room chairs, ottomans, etc.). Self taught, way before KZbin. Never bought a book or instructions manual. Just took things apart carefully, made notes. Later I bought a Consew industrial machine to help with certain jobs like cording and making cushions; to sew things my home machine couldn't handle. I love everything about upholstery. Never tried my hand at auto or boat work (and don't plan to). What I'm finding in your videos (the few I've watched so far), are a lot of great tips that carry over to furniture upholstery. I'm curious to know, where you learned to do this work? Who taught you all these tips? How did you start - or where did you start? Hey, maybe do a video on your history in this.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Kefir, I am so glad you found me. Like you, I taught myself everything I know without help starting 44 years ago. A tip, if you are doing this for income, never limit yourself. All upholstery is related. Auto and furniture will give you a decent income. However, marine will make you more and aircraft will make you many times more. Just sayin'.

The old ways are sometimes the best ways. I fix cars and trucks but started long ago when you made many of your own gaskets (Linoleum Company's SoLd Gasket Materials) but backing the frame or foam, keeps it from cutting thru the foam, time after time or use! Drivers side wears out first, so reinforce the French seams and lube the door hinges. As so many don't! It is like going to "Quick Lube" shops and they don't own a grease gun! Or two drops of motor oil on hood hinges. My customers got a business card, list on back of future possible repairs, but a thanks on the front. This was a dealer, I stayed busy while others read books or played cards... DK, ASE Master Tech since 78, Retired! Love the tip, keep it up. I make hogs rings from electric fence wire, own 2 SnapOn pliers, 1 at 45 degrees angle.

Great video. What glue did you use to hold burlap? Is it thinned?

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Thanks! I always use strait undiluted contact cement. If you don't have a spray gun, you can use a brush. Thanks for watching!

[@loribolden6154]

I did front and rear seats on a 1958 Speedster, They were terrible, but yes I cleaned them well and painted the frames. Attention to detail is key! I am currently trying to do a 56 Chev Bel Air seat build from just metal, no pattern, large seats like this are intimidating to me :/

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Lori, Yes, this is what i call fabrication when there are no patterns. I call it "Making something from nothing". Just hang in there! You'll get through it ok. Please keep watching!

Great video. Where can you buy seat springs if you don't have them?

Hello Starnet, Thank you so much! I have found seat springs on Amazon before. Please keep watching!

[@tonywinton7949]

Thanks so much for sharing. We just purchased a 70 Barracuda and the seats are toasted. Where is the best place to purchase all the pieces to reupholstered the seats? Thanks again for teaching me.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Tony! I bet your so excited about your new project! If your buying materials, just Google, "Upholstery suppliers" Or there may be kits available on the Internet. Please keep liking and watching!

[@YouveBeenMiddled]

If you haven't decided yet, I _highly_ recommend Legendary Auto Interiors products for your Mopar. You'll get the right stuff the first time, and their seat covers are made in the OEM fashion from top quality materials. Easy to install and their customer support is excellent. I've done a gold Dart and a white Road Runner and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Great work what is best way to make spring style seat firmer i have vw beetle with horse hair style paddjng but feel its not great support on sides ?? Any advice thanks

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Eoin, What I have done for the VW seats is pad the sides with a high density foam for the extra support. Please keep liking and watching!

[@texaspardners]

Nice. So what brand adhesive do you use in the spray gun?

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Texas, I use Weldwood, but any contact adhesive will do. Please keep liking and watching!

[@catherineoneill1420]

Hi, Cathy and I may be attempting to make covers for our 51 Chev pickup. Is there a grid you lay over the springs on top of the burlap before the cotton or is the burlap enough to keep the cover from getting out of shape? Are there different grades of burlap, heavier or more dense? Thanks for the help. Brian and Cathy

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hi Cathy! I use what I think is a standard burlap for upholstery. I get it from my upholstery supplier. I think a medium or heavy weight would do just fine. Foam, cotton, or the seat cover won't lose its shape. I hope I answered correctly, if not let me know. Thanks for watching!

Nice content. Do you have a video on restoring the other old classic car seat components? Looking at my old seat appears that it has more than one layer on top of the burlap cover. Also what type modern foam is durable and long lasting?

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Dew, I think I do have a few different videos, check my channel, then maybe the older videos. For seat foam I usuall go for a medium density for comfort. Thank you so much for watching!

I just had a 100000 dollar car in the shop that another upholstery shop had made new covers for owner didn't like a spot under the cover so he had me remove the cover to investigate the issue. To our surprise there was nothing done to cleanup the springs or pad not to mention they left the mouse nest in the springs. Why would any shop do restoration work like that?

Yes, I believe it! I have seen it all!

Hello! My burlap and contact adhesive come from an upholstery supplier. Contact adhesive can also be bought at hardware stores.

Can I double the burlap or it’s unnecessary also do you use the cotton I seen some videos they didn’t use it and some did?

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Damian, Doubling the burlap is not necessary, but it won't hurt anything if you do. Cotton was common for vehicles older than the 1970's. Please keep liking and watching!
