65 Dart Revisited II

Hello Members. Another Update on my 65 GT II Revisited Charger Clone. I purchased my seat covers for the project from Legendary Upholstery. I have to say that this company is just plain great when it comes to workmanship and service. I watched the videos on YouTube, and Ron did the narration, where Randy demonstrated the install. Despite the great narration and the demonstration, I still had a few questions, and Ron took the calls, and he was extremely helpful walking us through the installation. I am certain that our work is not as nice as Legendary's, but I think the few wrinkles which I have will work themselves out. Anyway, the wrinkles worked themselves out on our 66 Dart seats which we also purchased from Legendary. My wife suggested, on the bucket back rests and seat using the Legendary Foam Forms, to sprinkle some talcum powder on the foam forms prior to stretching the vinyl covers. She said that this might help the vinyl covers to slide a bit easier on the foam forms, and it did work well. The vinyl seat cover backs tended to stick, create adhesive friction, on the foam forms which made it harder to manipulate the forms as we stretched the covers. We found that this trick worked well, but I do not know if Legendary would approve of the talcum. I have to say that Randy, from Legendary, must have extremely strong fingers and wrists to be able to stretch and pull the vinyl as quickly and as tightly as he does...doing it by himself. Randy is the head installer at Legendary shown in the YouTube vids. Anyway, what remains is the lower bench seat rear, and we will get that tackled tomorrow along with my wife's help. She has been a tremendous help throughout this project. Actually, she should have her own name on FABO for all of the help she provides. Enclosed are some pics of the completed bucket seats and the bucket backs, and the back rest for the rear. Thanks for watching. If you purchase upholstery for your project, I have to say that Legendary is the cat's meow. I hope to be on the road by Mid-May. Thanks again for all the help that all of our members have given throughout this build. Best to you. sgrip65

The seats look great Jerry! For my new Dartcharger I will use our wifes idea when installing the seat covers. Thanks!
