Rudy making it look EASY ! NIce touch with the steamer.

Hello again Richard. I left a comment a day or two ago about having trouble seeing white chalk lines on my light colored velour. New to Upholstery with 39 Chevy. I tried masking tape but it didn't seem to remain straight when I sewed because the sew foam scrim backing collapsed under the foot pressure and the line became distorted. I also tried your advice and bought the best scrim I could. I had been using the pink scrim to save $ but the black backed stuff arrived yesterday, I put my chalk marks on the back of that and then sew the pleats with the scrim side up. That is working for me and my line was straight. Thank you for your fine instruction. I am retired and am not looking for a new trade but I want to develop a new fun skill. You're the master. Thank you again. Fred.+ I am amazed that you actually read my comment and then actually wrote a reply. You are really dedicated.

One of my tricks is before I sew these type channels is on the back side cut the fibers ( not all the way through) along the line. When you sew you have more control to sew it straight because the material lays flat. It’s the same concept as the old tuck and roll. These seats remind me of the old channel back sofas. The comfort of these seats is far superior to modern day car seats. I’m retired now and what I’m saying is it’s take skill and patients to do the old interiors. I hope your customer appreciates your labors. Thank You

Stumbled in here and love your videos. You have a great Bob Ross way about you. Makes it easy too learn. Thank you!

Hi Rudolph, thought ya might find this video interesting - Ford mo co. from back in the 20's and 30's processing the material and making interiors from start to finish - Ford made/processed EVERYTHING in house, including the yarn and cotton for seat materials and complete seat cushions, pretty neat to see from so many years ago - I see they even had a special press to compress the seat springs so the skirts could be pulled up and tacked into place.

Thanks for sharing this "old school" technique. Very interesting.

great technique with the steamer! I have a 38 Chevy I will be doing a complete interior on eventually - and I might have to invest in a steamer now that I see this!

You’re a master Rudolph. Great job. I’m learning a lot from your videos.

You are such a brave guy to take on a job like that!

You are very talented.

Sweet!!

Nicely done!

I just finished this video and I really like it. Although there is not too much restoration of 20's and 30's cars as you mention, there still is restoration. I mastered paint and bodywork, self taught many moons ago and I just bought an old Pfaff walking foot sewing machine a couple days ago. I know very little about upholstery and this video was spectacularly helpful. I would really like to see just how the backrest of the front seat is done. Please. I have a 1933 Willys Deluxe Custom sedan waiting for me and I can use all the help I can get. Thank You Thank You

excellent video I have been looking as how to sew the material on my Model A. Bought a Juki just to do the job

Thank you for the videos. Finishing up a 41 Plymouth and found them helpful.

This is a great video, thank you. I'm right in the middle of restoring a 1928 Pontiac four door sedan, very similar car to the subject 1927 Chevrolet. I'll be watching this video many times between now and when the car is done. Thanks again.

Very nice job 💯

Just found your channel. I'm learning sooooo much. Thank you.

Another awesome video my friend! I'm sure you have one happy customer on this one.

Just beautiful. Very fine work sir

Fantastic work, thanks for the video. ✅️👍

Wow, you really do beautiful work. Those mud dauber’s nests that were in the seats show up everywhere. I’ve had to knock them off of my old car too. I’ve got a ‘26 Model T Ford that I’m finally starting to do the upholstery on. I drive her all over town now, and I’m starting to get embarrassed by the shower curtain seat covers. I’ve made patterns for the door panels, and I’ll be using the old 1910 Singer sewing machine that came with my house. It’s an open touring car, so I’ll be using vinyl, and I suppose I’ll have to use a stronger thread. I love seeing you do those pleats. I always wondered how each pleat stayed puffy on its own. Now I see that each one is individually stuffed. Keep up the great work. I’m hoping to see you stuff the seat back as well, since it’s more like the back of a sofa.

Came out fantastic!

I have a 1938 Hillman Minx Roadster that got reupholstered in the 70s green vinyl & in foam ( cut like the cotton fillers in your seats) I’ll be redoing mine in a simuliar way I found some wide wale corduroy that I think will look authentic yet custom. Thanks for posting - will be referring back when I do mine.

Thanks!

I have a pair of channel stuffers that slide into the channels and then the packing slides in between the two and you pull them out. They are made of aluminum. I'm pretty sure there's a video on YT of how to make a pair. You did a good job.

It was all pretty crude back in the day, we tend to try to improve on what was there and re invent the wheel. I retired some twelve years ago and Ide forgotten how much I loved the job. You guys in the states have great trimming supplies such as Le Baron Bonnie etc. A brilliant leathers supplier in New York ( who’s name escapes me ). All of the original fabrics and leather cloths are still pretty much available.

The original held up vary well . Nice job

Nice video, looks great!

This Video should be Titled: Automotive Archeology 101: Captain & Crew Seating 😃

👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I am restoring a 28 studebaker l like your video, where did you get your cotton batting ?

Hi, very informative video, thanks for posting. I have a question, can you please explain why you use a jute pad in this one and why you don't have an initial layer of burlap covering the springs? Does the jute do the same job as the burlap?

Hi! Your videos are so helpful--I had a question. Why did you cover the seat frame with the jute pad for this restoration but use burlap in another? Is there a reason you would choose one over the other? Thank you!

Hello Richard, and thanks for your wonderful and informative videos. I am beginning to reupholster my 1939 Chevy seats. I am a novice. I am using light colored khaki velour and I am having trouble marking the pleat lines so I can see them to sew them straight. I am trying to use white chalk. You said you never use yellow because it can stain. What would you use to mark the lines. I am wondering if masking tape would work and then sew at the edge of the tape? What do you think. Thanks for your comments. Fred.

or stuff the ' channels ' AFTER stitching them .... carpet underlay is good for this as well

The front is still reminiscent of horse carriage seats I bet you could do seats for those to

may I ask what is the preferred thread used when reupholstering antique car seats? size needle for the softer faux leather or leather for interior car seats?

What sewing machine do you have? I got a brothers but mine is not with the walking foot.

What if there is no wire to attach the hog rings and upholstery to?

What if anything can be done if the upholstery set I bought is for hog rings but nothing to hook the hog rings to under the seat

13:02 ..... DO NOT .... do this when using vinyl or leather

That back seat is strange looking…like a bunch of bent legs.
