Projects I did my own seat and I don't think I like it!!

Did my own seat in a upholstery cl*** hat I took. After 8 weeks and 24 hours I think it ****s.. Anyone got a phone number for that Fat lucky guy???

 

2nd one will be better.Even though It's nicer than any I ever did.My total is zero

 

I would be proud of that in my truck....especially if I did it.

I would be more proud than if I bought it from Fat Lucky. Is it as good as his...no...but you did it and I would take pride in that it looks better than some professionals

 

Better'n I could do! =)
You must be seein' something I ain't seein', cause from here it looks fine!

 

Looks pretty good to me, I've seen some professional jobs that didn't look that nice.

 

I like the damned thing!

 

Yes , I would be proud of that . Upholstery is the only thing I don't do myself , but I wish I had the patience . Good for you.

 

wtf is wrong with that ???? it looks awsome.

 

Nothing wrong with it from here. Hell, mine wont turn out that good and I'm going to claim mine, Put it in and drive. Good on you

 

Be proud of what you have accomplished.

 

Whats it going in? i dont think its bad looking at all

 

OK, I get it... you just needed that warm and fuzzy feelin' ya get when your pals all brag on you...I get it! =)

 

Looks good to me!!

 

I really don't think you can live with it, and I think you should give it to me. especially if it is under 48" wide. JK, I think it looks killer, nice job!!

 

Just wait til Tman gives his opinion... I think it's flat and has no moxy.. It just doesn't come right out and hit you in the gut like I wanted it too..It also looks a little pinkish to me..

 

Put it in something cooer than that mini van before you discard it. I think it looks pretty dang good. I'd put it in my car, if I did it myself.

 

I agree WTF is wrong with it? I see tiny things wrong with it but that will settle out once you start putting your *** in it.

 

Don't change a thing........
What kinda car/truck is it goin' in?

If you look at pics for the 40's/50's and pay close attention to the upholstery you'll see that you have pretty much nailed it.

The standards were different back then; even in "high end" customs, it was common to see wrinkles around the corners and where the material folded under/around the frame and not stretch the material so tight it looks Cher's face after her 50th face lift.
Are the pleats individually stuffed or sewn through foam???

I had to fight like hell with the guy that did the upholstery in my A to leave a few wrinkles in...... I rather have your seat than mine.

Regardless< I think you did a great job.

not bad looks good..

 

looks good to me

 

Its better than I could do. But if you don't like it - redo it. Nothing is worse than having a part that bothers you everytime you get in the car.

 

For your first seat, it looks pretty darn good. Wear it out and do it again!

 

You have a point.. It's going in a late fourties early fifties era 32' Five window.. I kinda try to copy Isky's T interior..

 

It's going in this..What color would you paint it???

 

cool seat

 

I was going to say I didn't like anything about it just to be an ***! Upholstery takes time in the seat to nail it, I plan on doing my '36 interior hope it turns out half that good. JMO

 

cool seat looks bad ***ssss................. just my .02

 

You could hire a lawyer to sue the guy who did it, & then hire a defence lawyer to protect yourself from the 1st one!

 

Alright I'll keep it.. Now for the door panels....

 

Yeah yeah...fishing for compliments. The material looks a little too glossy for my tastes but that could just be the flash. The execution is right on for a 50s hotrod. IMHO
