I'm from Mexico and I really love your work. Whenever you whant to come to Mexico for vacation you are very welcome 🙏🏾

Another great video Mike! I’m really enjoy watching the progress on the build. 👍

Grateful that you took the time to show how to do this. Want to do this to my 69 bay seats. The sewing machine cost might prevent me from attempting this…..

Eine Phantastische Arbeit, meine Hochachtung!!

Wow. Great outcome. Your video should really help anyone attempting this.

we just need a few takers. to become the next gen upholstery guys. Ones doing it now need to get schooled that anyone can do their job and there is no reason to charge that much money.

Greetings Mike, thanks again for another visual informative video of how to do it yourself. This was a great job in real time. It makes me wanna do some seats! 😊 Keep up the great work bro!!

Nice job Mike I think the car is going to look beautiful when finished. I hope you have before and after photos at car rallies. You should be very proud . Then maybe you can clean up the shop ha! ha! .cheers mate from Rick in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 👍 👌

That really does look like it’s going to be comfortable.

😎🔧🔩🎉 Great combo Mike

Hey Mike ! I used a seam that I folded the edge 1/2 inch then useing the foot as a gauge did a double stitch line > It has held up for years . What I can't remember is did I use the welting foot as a gauge or a standard foot . On the back seat springs sandblasting mine took 2 days . I got a gallon of Klean Strip etching at H.D. and I opened it about 2 years ago and now it has evaporated to a 1/2 gallon and turned dark green . It eats surface rust in a couple of minutes . It costed 17 $ a gallon .

Nice work Mike. She will be a beauty.

Hi Mike, A nice piece of Upholstery👍🏻🛠, I know how much work that is so I did my part of the Upholstery in the Antick Furniture and from our time 50 and 60 years period. So you achieved a job well done👏🏻👏🏻😊🇺🇸. Greetings.Hubertus🙏🏻🇳🇴🇳🇱☮🛠

Hey mike ! over at H.F. they have a moving blanket that is made of fiber batting .( gray ) and a big + is the $

Nice.

Nice job!!!

very impressive Mike. not the kind of thing I would have the patience for. cheers

I'm learning a lot from your commentary. I should be picking up material for the 356 next week. It will probably be a few months before I start making parts, but the note about 1/2" was a good one. Also, I like how you're doing the pattern for the outside edge. When I did my Ghia, I took the seat covers apart to make the patterns. Unfortunately, they were old and shrunk to a weird size. It made it really hard to get a good pattern. I think I made every piece at least 3 times before they finally fit.

new patterns are the best way to go. I started out that way then realized it was better to make my own. You will really need a full sewing table unit with tripple feed walking foot and all attachments. . those portables are just too small to fold up for the pleats on the back seat. you can see me using binder clips and pinch clamps to hold it furled up.

@@Mikefngarage The back luggage piece is pretty big. I may have to upgrade just for that one. All the other pieces are pretty small and should be able to pass through for pleating... I may actually be able to do the back piece in 2 pieces... Just depends if it's an overstitch or if I can hide it. The originals were all hidden stitches, so they all pass on the left side of the walking foot... I think they look better as an exposed stitch tho. I have a BUNCH of experimenting to do. I'm just hoping it will look as good as what you've done!

Amazing job.

Looks fantastic Mike!

This is looking so amazing; it’s come such a long way through such a titanic effort on your part! I am waiting for the Okrasa powerplant…😉

Ótimo trabalho.

You're being far too modest, - it turned out great !!!

No horsehair?

Great job Mike, Q, did you think about using the Steamer instead of the heat gun?

@Mikefngarage

11 ай бұрын

yea I use a heat gun because on a seat it is easier. dont need to keep filling it up with water.

Nice Mike. Is there anything you don't do?

how much do you charge to cover my two front seats ?

Is there anything you can not do?

There’s a shop here in Fresno owned by a VW guy. Will do a full interior from scratch for $3-4,000. But there are shops here that want a lot more then that.

even that is a lot. garza would have been about 1500 to 2000 My green bug seats are awesome. done for 750. better than i could do. but He disappeared after 40 plus years in business.

@@Mikefngarage That’s good. Especially considering that the price of foam went up a few years ago. For my girlfriends Fastback I cut the door panels out. But covered them, did the seats, made the carpet and headliner for about $3500. The best thing about him is that he would have all that done in a couple weeks. That’s was about a year and half ago though

It's a bug,,,, who cares
