@DIYDan~ You did a great job! I am impressed with how nice your refinished seat looks! When you get ready to do the front seats, here's a tip that will maybe help you in the "Wrangling" process: After you apply the burlap to the surface and cut your 2" Foam to fit, spay the backside of the foam piece and the top side of the burlap fabric with your Aerosol Contact Cement, so that they will adhere to one another. This will hold the foam piece tightly in place, against the burlap base. It will make the "wrangling" step slightly easier. Another tip for the vinyl: If you are finding it difficult to stretch around corners or other spots, you can use a hair dryer to slightly warm up the vinyl to temporarily giving it a bit more stretch. It will not damage the integrity or appearance of the vinyl, just make it more cooperative as you work. You can also cut a slight curve at the four corners of your foam piece and it will give you a tiny bit more space when positioning the vinyl cover over it. This was a great DIY project and you really explained the process perfectly!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! ~~Christy~~
This is exactly what I was looking for! I just busted down the seats for my '68 Impala to do exactly what you're doing. How much do you think you have invested with the seat covers and all of the other stuff to do the job? Thanks for the share! They look awesome!
Great video step by step very helpful information. Im looking for the correct seat covers for my 1968 Chrysler newport ill have to give jui interiors a call thanks for the video

The most thorough video I've seen on fitting replacement covers and the results speak for themselves. Great video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for sharing I appreciate your feedback!
Great video. Going to be a big help for me. Only thing is that I had to keep running to the bathroom to pee because of the running water! lol
Just picked up a 1968 Cutlass Convertible. All your videos will definitely help me out. Thanks!!!
Good luck with your project.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Going to tackle my 1960 Olds 98 seats.
Looks great! My dog chewed the corner off my far rear lay down seat trying to retrieve a toy...so...this is very helpful!
Made this look easy 😅
Nice work, thanks for posting.. I am doing a 1968 vista cruiser and this can come in handy..
Thank you and good luck with the Vista's seats!
Very helpful vid thanks
Wow turned out great, thanks for the video, I think I’ll try’s mine
You could have cut the wire at the corners, it would allow you to hogring the remaining holes..great job!
Great idea!
Nice job sir.
Looks very nice!
Thank you I appreciate your comments.

Dan, may I ask for a link to these clamps?
I think these are the same only a different color.
www.lowes.com/pd/IRWIN-QUICK-GRIP-2-Pack-12-in-Mini-One-Handed-Bar-Clamp/1003172498
Does this go for a 1972 Monte Carlo as well
Same process but the measurements will differ because the Monte is a hard top coupe and is a Chevy.
What diameter size listing wire did you buy 16 or 9 gauge? I noticed on Amazon that’s the 2 common sizes I guess thanks
It was 9 gauge here is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08V4RQV4Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Where did you found all the materials?
The Parts Place, Amazon , and Hobby Lobby.
Thank you for your content~
My pleasure!
Nice Video Dan!
One question, do you know if 3inch foam will also work for this?
I am not sure it is hard enough with two inch foam three might be pushing it.
@@f119045 thank you very much!
Doesnt anybody do a front bench seat on a 66 chevelle?
thanks so much. a little unconventional but good results
Glad it helped
You really like “listing wire”!
Your right I found it absolutely essential to give the seats a professional look. :)
Can you link where you got the leather from?
Sure got it from the parts place www.thepartsplaceinc.com/part/all-year/&part_no=in2936t
Who else needs to pee?
😂Took me about 4 minutes in to realize why you asked that😂
