Just finished an upholstery project on the eBay Spitfire and it looks pretty good if I may say so myself /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banana.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/angel.gif.
The local upholstery shop quoted me ~$800 labor for this job (using my new covers/foams).
They advertise in Hemmings and do good work, but still... $800?!
I have another seat back to finish, but it's late and I'm tired. SWMBO approves, so it's all good.
It has been a few years since I've done seats; I forgot how much I *hate* hogrings... I bought a special pliers to compress them and it still a PITA. Did I mention that I hate hogrings?
First things first... The Workbench...
Followed by The Supplies...
The Work in Progress...
The Finished Product... (they were stinking up the house from the glue)
