A bag of apples, the cheapest, will help.

No matter the price a company should never send out a seat cover that comes apart, especially a company who specializes in classic car upholstery. Thanks for the letting others know to beware.

^^^x2... the way they lace up is good, I had one on a car in the past and was very satisfied.

Wow, Edd, you have a good eye for design. Looks very clean.

Tommy, I had bought a headliner for Goldie that was "Buckskin," and was satisfied with the color as a substitute.

What kind of paint did you use? Looks nice, you're not trying to keep it all factory. Though I like that you've kept the original bench seat.

SEM worked well for me too once I got the hang of it. It worked better when I sprayed from a little closer distance than what the directions said. Otherwise the dye was already too dry by the time it hit the panel. I would practice a little on something first.

Sad too the OP was always a positive guy on here but something happened and he just disappeared.

Looks nice and comfortable Edd. The headliner is not something you really see anyway.

FWIW if you do get a shop to do the job, tell them you need it done by a certain date and get them to agree on it. No offense to anyone but upholstery shops are notorious for taking a long time to finish.

I owned a '63 Belvedere that had an oval steering wheel. The '64 Valiant has a round steering wheel. Whether they could interchange, someone else will answer.

Good tip on being careful with strong chemicals. When I was a kid I used 409 on the dash of my Mom's Valiant, trying to be helpful, and it removed the lettering, Oops.

So yesterday I was looking over a very nice original old Fury convertible with vinyl seats. The piping had turned kind of yellow. Got me wondering if there's a way to get it looking nice and white again without detracting from the originality of the car.

I always used a product specifically for car interiors, such as the one Armorall makes. Even then being gentle, using a soft brush, not using too much product and wiping the residue off with clean water. I remember as a kid I used 409 on my Mom's Valiant and it took the finish off the dash...

Don't use 409. It's too strong.

I wonder if there was someone at Chrysler back then who said "I knew that was going to happen, but they didn't listen to me!" :protest:

White always looks good and will never go out of fashion. One of the disadvantages of grey is it blends in and it's harder for other drivers to see it...

Something you will definatly enjoy every time you drive Victoria. Very nicely done!

Nice work. Having a nice steering wheel makes a big difference in the driving experience.

Cool Edd this is a useful thread, subscribed! Hope you're back feels better, meanwhile good to have something to keep your mind off it.

It's a good idea to put some strips of masking tape on the top of the column so you don't scratch the paint.

In the first pic, the door panel has a burl 'wood' insert but around the cluster it's regular wood grain.

That is great. Just curious, has your car ever been damaged? Mine took a hit and I figure that's at least part of the reason why it creaks and clunks.

For now while your car is outside you can cover the cowl grill using magnetic sign material cut to size.

I'm envious. Great choices on everything.

New foam for sure.

Wow, the compartments are a great idea. Much more nicely finished than what the factory gave us, you do clean work.

x2 razor blades can scratch glass if you're not careful.

I like it a lot. The ostrich grain is a nice touch, what made you choose it?

Maybe not, I've seen guys here fix seats and other things that you would think are too far gone.
