New Upholstery - Maybe not for Everyone (1 Viewer)

[J Mack]

@J Mack sweet, i hope i don't regret not doing the door panels as well. I just had them made out of the same vinyl as the trim on the seats.

I really like quirky retro stuff and the Jeep mighty FC build kind of inspired my Pig color and theme for that clean off road look, I actually got the idea for plaid from that build.

Hey Rush, what do you know about material anyway, running around naked.

 

[scrapdaddy]

I thought about your wool inserts all day crossing Ne. and 95 degrees sweating my rack off in leather seats. Time for a change.

Scrappy, don’t make me search out those camp shower pics!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Touche!

For the late 70's pig... something less conventional?

This is sick ass upholstery, and the headrest.... man I'm a greaser, and my greasy ass hair would ruin the plaid. Good thing it is on the side.

Not gonna lie... I might be stealing your idea here Residualboulders. lol! Red and Grey plaid inserts out of ANYTHING other than that damn vinyl in there now! Bonus is the wife will stop accusing me of taking sterioids from all the acne the vinyl is causing me! haha

ha ha, glad i could help. Porsche has some nice plaids in the 70s. I almost went that route but the colors coordinating with my paint scheme were a little too bright for my liking.

Nice, tell us about the material. Wool ?

 

[Cgn1976]

Not sure actually. Don't think it's not wool. Got the plaid from an upholstry whole sale guy through Etsy, then my local guy sourced the vinyl. I've been on the calender since Jan with him! So glad to get it done finally! The bonus is I don't need a shower after a 10 minute ride to deal with the back sweat!

Exactly why I want to get rid of the leather center on mine.

Cool seats, how did you acquire the carpet? Was this custom job or a kit?

Custom job. I bought the plaid off of some upholstery material seller through Etsy. Just found it searching for plaid material via Google. Then found a local upholsty guy. He sourced the vinyl. He used the existing seats as a template. Took about 2 days and about$1k. Not cheap but worth it!

I'm pretty happy with it. Thx for the inspiration!

I'm stealing the idea, too.

$1k for both front and back seats?
Not bad based on what I paid a few years ago...
