This is a great video. These guys are in the business of selling and promoting their product, not necessarily into DYI. This guy makes it look easy but it isn't. Without the right tools, it can be a nightmare. Having said that, I am not that far from La Grange and might be interested in visiting these guys.
@ctbt83 You're absolutely right, our pro makes this look SUPER easy, and you're also right that it's not easy. At least, not easy to make the seats look as great as they do when he's done with them.
Many end-users are not aware of the work that goes into any interior project. A carburetor doesn't jump onto the intake manifold tuned and ready to run. Interiors, by the same token, need a little effort and patience to be Concours-perfect.
It takes our PROFESSIONAL about an hour or two per bucket to get them looking really nice. That can change from a 1968 to a 1969 model just because of differences in the seat covers. GM did this with a lot more room and more specialized tools that we have, and if you look at an original seat, you'll see how little care was taken in a lot of them. Many times the lines from top to bottom never lined up originally. We take care to insure everything is as perfect as possible.
When I look at this video, two questions come to mind: One how long did this take in real time, and two, how in the heck did the auto manufactures of the day do this in a timely fashion to keep up with the speed of the assembly line???

Stay tuned for more videos illustrating this.
