It's pretty easy if ya know a few tricks plus I wanted to see it. Looks cool man.
Thanks. We worked hard on that. Normally, I wouldda looked for it, but the way I feel right now though, I couldn't find my butt in the dark with both hands.
I hope your are not feeling ill.

Interior isn't part of my skill set... But I did just have this done by a friend... Going in my old station wagon... Rear seats are OE, front seats started out as high back out of a Dakota....

Its more than sewing, its staples, glues, hog rings...applying heat to get out wrinkles etc. With a class, and a little hands on practice you'll be ok with it I think...

If you check my build thread, I did my own interior as well. I had to have it sewn as I don't own a machine that's capable of sewing leather/vinyl. But I designed it all, put them on the frames and also did my own door cards and trunk.

No experience with online course, but took a few quarters of upholstery class at a trade school about 20 years ago. Really enjoyed it and did a couple completes on my cars. Quite a bit to it if you are going to do seats, door panels, headliners and convertible tops. My experience would be that you might learn something online, but it would be no where enough to really do a complete job like you would learn hands on in-class from an experienced instructor, plus you get to use their equipment.

I farmed out the seats on my coupe, but tried my hand at door panels/handles, and custom carpet sections. Nothing professional but looks better than bare steel.
