[Moralvorstellung7]

Care to give me an estimate on what it would cost to replace the vinyl top on a 1984 Chrysler LeBaron?

[diyautoschool]

@Moralvorstellung7 I sub out all my upholstry work, the guys doing this job don't work for me, but I would presume it would be around 400.00 to 500.00 easy.

[Moralvorstellung7]

@diyautoschool That's what I thought too. Thanks!

Is it possible to tuck the material without taking of the molding? I have a 1981 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham.

[diyautoschool]

@but199018 Yeah it is possible, but you are gambeling on the weather getting under the lip of it and causing RUST.. If you don't tuck it under the chrome trim, you should get some sylicone of the same color and calk it up to seal the edges in. Pete

@dannyb13579 It's a Dodge Dart--GTS.

Yep, that's not something I would try to tackle myself. It's one of those things that I think it's better to let the pro's handle.

thanks for the great vids and keep up the great work... you-rock

[ILUVIVGODII]

Pete, I have a one question. How and where do you find all the pro's to perform work on your vehicles? The more videos I see from you the more you are becoming my ace (go to guy) for my vehicle!

[diyautoschool]

@ILUVIVGODII Thanks for the comments and support. pete

[loveanianimeme]

Hey Pete, What would you recomend? leather or vinyl seats?

I want to get a new interior for my 64 bug sometime in the future but i don't know if i should get leather or vinyl?

@loveanianimeme Personally I would go with vinyl. Due to the fact that the new vinyls they have on the market today are better, softer, and cheaper then leather.. Pete

[loveanianimeme]

@diyautoschool

ok, thanks Pete =)

[NickatD9]

Some good stuff there Pete.

my neighbours daily driver 68 bug (uk) had vandals key the roof in the 70's & he had vinyl put on there instead of a repaint, still on there today. fact-a-mundo!
