Bill shows you how to install TMI Seat Upholstery on your 1965-1968 Mustang.
Purchase Product Here:
www.cjponyparts.com/catalogse...
Replace your faded and worn seats with some new, quality interior upholstery. This install features TMI upholstery, which helps you personalize the performance look you want for your Mustang's interior. This high quality upholstery and foam is built for any classic Mustang upgrade, from performance based to modern style or an original vintage look!
For this installation, Bill and Ben use TMI Sport II upholstery and the TMI Sport II foam, which are two of TMI's most aggressive, performance inspired upholstery products, yet still maintain that vintage look. The first step includes disassembly of your original seat. Once the original upholstery and foam has been removed, you can install your new TMI foam, which fits around the outer edge of the seat.
You will then need to install listing rods into your new upholstery, then attach it onto your seat and foam. Securing the upholstery to the back of the seat and the underside of the seat bottom is the last step to complete this installation.

Looks great! As much as you don't see the frame, I would repaint it regardless. There was a lot of surface rust that did take over 50 years to develop, but once it's there the rest happens way faster than you would want!!!! 😮😮 I know! Looking forward to my leather covers for a 1990 LX I have under way. It has the bolstered seats with the adjustable thigh support.

This video has been a life saver! I took on the task of reupholstering my front seats in my 66 this weekend and I would have been lost without this video. The passenger seat is done (slightly imperfectly, but still looks great) and the driver’s seat is almost done. I’ve been leaning on wires in the driver seat for years, so it’s going to be amazing to have new foam (and vinyl) on my seat.

@primerpodcast8557 6 лет назад

This is a good tutorial video. i watched many times before and during my rework. heres some tips: 1 invest in a good pair of hog ring pliers AND cutters. common wire cutters will not work removing your missed hog rings 2 consider getting straight handle hog ring pliers, the angled units dont work well 3 get an extra set of hands to help, compressing foam and getting to the wires is tiring and frustrating 4 take care when ringing down the listing wires, they can tear out of the thin material TMI used to hold them in place 5 as stated, put material out is sun to soften, it makes stretching easier 6 be prepared to give your hands and forearms a workout, the sport foam is not easy to work with 7 consider hiring a pro to do it, what is your time worth? i hate upholstery work, i'm in the middle of this now, so i will keep going. probably never do this again.

@tomh1424 5 лет назад

Very nice video. I usually remove the rust from the metal seat frames and paint them so they hold up better.

@SuperHartwigs 8 лет назад

Thanks for this awesome video. Must have watched it 10 times during my install. I have no experience installing upholstery. Your 22 minute video made me a pro. Got my pony upholstery and seat cushions installed in my 64 1/2 Mustang and I don't think the pro's could have done a better job. Your video covers everything but the rear seats but they are a breeze to install. I added a couple layers of quilting fabric to the rear seat bottom and it turned out AWESOME! Saved me $550!

@cmscms123456 9 лет назад

A couple of tips. Put your new vinyl covers out in the sun for a good hour or more, it softens the material and easier to work with. 2. use plastic grocery bags, or a dry-cleaning back, pulled over the foam, them the vinyl slips into place really easy.

Just a trick I used if you have weak hands you can use zip ties to help you get the material pulled into place and then hog ring them.

@kylerjones4411 5 лет назад

By far the hardest part of this job is putting the seat back cover on. These guys totally gloss it over.

@Zerogivengarage 11 лет назад

The original canvas is there to protect the factory upholstery during installation. It is not needed with the new upholstery so if it is in good shape you can keep it, if not throw it away. The springs are not really replaceable, I have seen various to repair them but none are really a good solution. If they still move freely and are not rusted out and broken they will be fine. We have done a few seats where they are so badly rusted they fall apart in our hands so we have to replace the frame.

Thorough presentation. I have one question though: what is holding the seat foam to the frame? Is it not necessary to first hog ring the embedded listing wire in the foam to the paper wrapped listing wire in the seat frame? And then, attach the upholstery hog ringing the listing wire in the upholstery to the listing wire in the foam? Please advise . Thanks Ace

I hog ringed my seat foam to the seat base springs first. Keep it a bit more secure.

@Cobrafanatik22 9 лет назад

Is there any mustang place that I can buy yardage of vinyl that matches the stock seat vinyl?

@Zerogivengarage 11 лет назад

The back seat is a lot easier since there is no large bolsters to stretch the material over. You simply hog ring it to the seat frame just like the factory

Hi, by any chance does tmi have the foam for rear seats. I have a 1972 mustang coupe and the bottom of the rear seat is pretty beat up.

@wizardofx 11 лет назад

Doing this for the first time on a 68 torino and have a few questions 1. Do I have to install new canvas and horse hair? What the heck is it for anyway?? 2. How do you determine if the springs are still good? I assume you can get new springs. Thanks.

@Zerogivengarage 11 лет назад

We do not sell them as an assembled seat since they use your original frames. If you wanted new frames, foam, and upholstery we could build them for you in our shop. If you are interested give us a call and ask for Dan in Service

@moonlightfordf1005 3 года назад

Any ideas how to install the seat backs? The new clips are shorter and the old clips are junk. I easily did the whole job but can’t get the backs to install. I’m putting these in my f 100 so the backs will never be seen, but it’s still driving me insane!

@danknight7514 Год назад

I have what appears to be 68 seats in my 65. They have seat back locks on them and the tag on the frame says Oct 67. I assume that makes them early 68. Do you just remove the locks or what?

@customdigital3965 6 лет назад

Here's a tip...don't fold over the bolsters or edges until you've completely hog ringing the center listing channels. The foam will compress enough for you to fold over the edges. Finish off by steaming the inside of the vinyl to soften it and reduce wrinkles.

@customdigital3965 6 лет назад

Also, see if you can rent or purchase a pneumatic hog ring tool. Doing it by hand sucks

If your frame needs it by all means clean it up and paint it before you assemble the seat.

@thecollector8737 4 года назад

@tonytony9251 6 лет назад

Maybe this is a stupid question, Does the hog ring attached to a wire within the cushioning (foam) or are the hog rings just grabbing onto foam or they grabbing onto metal framing of the seat springs behind the foam?

@cjponyparts 6 лет назад

They grab into the wire that is embedded in the foam.

@wcooper02 10 лет назад

Dumb question- why wasn't the burlap replaced? wont the springs cut through the foam per-maturely?

@Zerogivengarage 10 лет назад

The premium foams have a coating on them which makes the burlap pretty much not needed any longer but you can install it if you want to.

@jethroseghers1 8 лет назад

The only feedback I have is that when you attach the back frame to the bottom frame, it might be way tighter that what you had on the show. Mine was so tight I had to use a lot of force to make it work. That unfortunately ripped the upholstery. TIP: use a lot of heavy duty duck tape to protect your upholstery. Not your fault, lesson learned on my part.

@slappy1965 Год назад

I am really finding it hard to pierce the foam with the hog ring, along with the listing wire, and pushing it all the way through to the frame. Anybody have secrets?

@bashed68 2 месяца назад

As was suggested above, use zip ties. I came up with this idea years ago and it worked wonders. The previous commenter said to just use them to get started, but in my opinion, they are a permanent solution. I don’t think zip ties existed “back in the day”. Regardless, I suspect hog rings are faster in a factory production environment, which may be why they’re not OE.

@onlyliberty2689 Год назад

You first should connect (all) the hogrings, the top and the siderings, and then flip over the top and sidematerial with a heatblower to make the material soft. Then you don´t get this ugly pleats I still see at your project. I am doing this for already 30 years, re-made seats for porsche and old cars. but in Europe we have other standards I guess. good luck !

@Cobrafanatik22 9 лет назад

When you are putting the hog rings into the foam, are you ringing it onto the frame of the seat? Also if you buy the sport r seats do they come with new hog rings and seat backing clips?

@Zerogivengarage 9 лет назад

Hog rings go into the listing wires that are in the foam. The clips and rings are not included.

oh these are fun to do...not. Literally the lamest job to do in the upholstery trade that I've ever encountered. Mustangs suck, Camaro even worse. get ready for early arthritis. these kits from Classic Industries or TMI never fit right even after hours of wresting and fighting and stretching to the point stitches are tearing, and after all that work and time they still look like wrinkled garbage and will leave you unsatisfied. I wont be taking on those jobs ever again. aftermarket kits are complete crap!
