[Chevelle-list] reupholster?

[Devin]

Pelle-  Having done a few seats over the years, more than I’d like, unless
you’re after a custom look, you’ll likely need to buy the appropriate foam
for your Chevelle.  This has the rope- like material that you will have to
attach the hog rings to in order for it to have the proper shape.  Hopefully
somebody will have better input for you as well.  I’m not an upholsterer,
just a guy who works on his own cars.

Hi!

 

A few Q:s

 

I'm in the progress of reupholstering the back seat.

Allt that is left of the old back seat is the bare metal base and springs,
due to rats and mould!

 

Do I proceed like this

1. First I need a layer of fabric or jute to protect the foam against the
springs I guess.

2. Then there's a layer of foam? How thick should the foam layer be?

Any more layers on top of the foam except the new cover?

3. Then I attach the hog rings!

 

Best regards
Pelle
