- The last major hurtle we need to jump on this project is done!
Come along as we recover all four major components that make up the front seat in the '48 Stylemaster.
There is so much to do in this video that I can't possibly show it all. Check out the 1948 Chevy playlist if you missed them.

Thanks for sharing, I at one time did this sort of work, 76 years old now. Thank you for sharing the verses of scripture.
These videos have inspired my to search for a 48 town sedan that may need a little work, hopefully one day I will find one....thanks for all of the great videos on this page!!
Find the best one you can afford. All old cars will come with built in "work" to be done. Now, and over time. Enjoy!
As always you do a tremendous job! My compliments on all of it! If I decide to go back stock with my interior this series is the go to manual on how to do it!
You have been a God send for me with my 48! I have much more to do but you have already covered so much of it. Thank you again and God Bless You sir!
Great craftsmanship!
You are a man of talents.
You always do a great job. Thanks for sharing
Hey Jay. Nice work. I enjoy watching your videos. It gives me an idea of how to go about tackling some of my repairs on my 40 Buick. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍🙏
Thanks for posting this. I enjoy your videos, please keep it up!
Just found your channel a few days ago reminds me of being in my dad's workshop with him thank
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love it
Beautiful work! God bless you.
Thanks for sharing. Love the channel.
Amazing job !
Great vid
Great job👍👍
Excellent info and work on this video! I found your channel after I saw a car at a recent show that had Jayhawker on it and wondered if it was you. Subbed
Haha, nope wasn't me, but glad to have you along!
Poor carpet fit: That's why I purchased a piece of bulk carpet for my '47 Ford and custom fit it myself complete with binding.
They might manufacture the carpet to fit aftermarket trans tunnels for auto transmission and V8?
Hey Jay, good job again. I commented on your 65 Corvair and saw the 48 Chevy interior. I've been doing a little upholstry myself for a few years. A man get a used machine and play around and finish up a preety good job. I saw you had a small pully on your Juki, did you get a smaller bottom pully to slow down the speed ? If not, a smaller pully makes a GREAT additionto slow them down !
Hi, and thanks for checking out the videos. Yes, I bought a much smaller pulley for the motor and that helped quite a lot. I need to play around with the "clutch?" and linkage as well; it's way to easy to go from idle to top fuel dragster mode.
Thank u for sharing
Wut kind of staple gun is that? What size staples
Great video..can you share where you purchase the material for the seats.. Thank you
fabricwarehouse.com for the gray stripe but I believe they are now sold out. Gray was particular to Stylemasters, the Fleet models had tan materials.
@@TheJayhawker thank you sir
@@TheJayhawker do you happen to know the name of the fabric? Thanks
Hi. I wanted to ask what material you used for the pockets where the wire goes through? Thanks
It's the cheapest cotton linen I can find. If you ever go to Hobby Lobby they usually have it along the back wall next to their foam and batting products.
What size of staples use
mostly 1/4"
Do u still have the 4 door for sale
yes I have it, but some parts have been removed
Are you building this for yourself
I wish it was mine! This car was last tagged in 1989 and was brought to me to get back on the road again. You can go to the playlist on my channel and watch the entire series of repairs that we did. Thanks for watching.
No wonder the mice loved our cars. All that cotton.
I had a chance to buy a 4dr '48 Chevy many years ago. It was complete and I wanted it but being a family man meant no dice:(. Would have loved to rebuild it and make a beautiful family car but be that as it may, Yahweh had other plans :)
Those carpets never fit good from day one. Always lose and poor quality. Often the master cylinder opening was under the carpet by the pedals. So you couldn’t glue it down. I would have stuck it under the sill plates. If he needs to add brake fluid ,just lift the sill plate.
This carpet is not your fault or the manufacturer. It just was not a priority in the day.
Nice work otherwise. 😊
