Throwing Up Some Seat Pictures................so please don't throw up!
I've had cloth aftermarket covers on these since I got it, trying to preserve what was left. My first attempt at this recover thing. Lol, and maybe my last. Hog ring heaven. Three of the weld nuts for the hinge bolts were off and needed to be welded back on. Yeah, I did the one that wasn't loose too.) Still need headrests and both left side hinge covers. Anyway, here's my out come.........

Looks good to me! That can be very frustrating work that needs lots of extra hands!
 
Good job! you have done something that alot of us here would not attempt,myself included,crack yourself a beer on a job well done :thumbsup:
 
That whole hog ring thing is fun isn't it? :D
You did a damn nice job of it though.

My very first hog ring experience was the Wife wanted me to do her entire front and rear seats in her BMW.
I was a bit nervous about it because she likes perfection and is kind of vocal about it if it isn't. :D
Came out really nice though.
 
You done some nice work on those buckets.
Care to give a review who supplied your covers and foam?
 
I used to work with hog rings when I worket at a dealership, I wont mention any brand names but Ive replaced a fair share of seat heaters in certain luxury vehicles. I do want to attempt to do my 70 dart bench seat and possibly the rear bench also. Op, looks like good work, do you get the covers from an interior resto supplier?

Some folks aren't going to like it but this is in fact PUI, 69KSB10U, but it is what it is. I bought these covers at least two years ago. Hand written tag dated 1/28/14 attached. Wasn't long afterwards I start hearing complaints on their stuff but too late to return. They've been sitting in the box and I just never seemed to get the time (and/or nerve) to put 'em on. Over time I've heard "they are thinner", "the stitching is bad", etc.
I can tell you for fact the thickness is the same as the stock cover that came off at .031". As far as the stitching and etc., I guess it's a wait and see thing.
The front bucket seats that came with the car had the '69 "deluxe" covers. The rest is the interior was "standard" so it made sense (to me) to get the buckets looking the same. Both seats had "missed the mark" hog rings and the just tried again without removing the bad one. I did find way too many sharp areas on the seat bottom frames for my liking which I de-burred. The seat bottom rear corners were especially sharp so I rounded those off with a flap disc.
Here is a shot of what it was, both similar condition...................

Looks like you did a great job to me. I did my own seats and they didn't come out quite as nice. A few wrinkles in mine mainly because I didn't replace the seat foam which left a couple of soft spots in the seats.
