I tied my hand at upholstering today and got a good start on reupholstering the seats in the Rambler. The cloth on the old ones and the sunny side of the vinyl was literally falling apart. I opted for black vinyl with pleats and neon green top stitching to compliment the future paint color. The rear bench went pretty slow because I had to decide how to mark everything in a way that I could remember how to put it back together. I also took a ton of pics as it came apart just to be safe. The line laser guide I made for the sewing machine worked great on the top stitching. I just placed the line on the seam with the proper offset and sewed away. For the most part, they came out reasonably straight for an amateur. :)
