    I did an interior on a 55 Chevy a few years ago. I had no clue what I was doing at first. I bought a 25year old JUKI and watched lots of KZread videos like yours. Since then,I’ve had many people make me offers to do their cars! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

    You’re a true craftsman Spanky! You’re doing things most people push off on the upholstery guy… my mom did upholstery when my dad did cars! It’s a ton of work …..and you are the man!

    I have part numbers for what I used and believe it in the video or the Impala seat video. The back foam is much softer than the butt seat foam . I’ll look and try to help. Got to my info page and send me a email. Spankytire@yahoo.com .
