Upholstery and help and haul
I purchased a 1914 model T off my eBay a few years ago. It looked a whole lot better than what it was. I had Ray Wells completely re-wood it and he did a nice job . I bought new fenders, new splash, aprons, new running boards, new firewall, new upholstery kit from Snyders complete top and bowls. The instructions are vague a page and a half and not much. Is there anybody out there that knows of a video of how to do this I don't know how to attach the springs to the back or to the upholstery I would appreciate any help I can get, if you wish to call my number is 702-354-6365. Thank you and easy does it

Go to the Classtique website and watch the videos. The one on installeing seat upholstery using a spring press made out of 2X4s is what I followed. Using the spring press really makes a smooth tight fit. There are also top installation videos. Art

I will talk to my nephew about his father's videos. My brother Vince had excellent videos before he passed away.

Vince's videos were EXCELLENT. I wish they were available online. I had Vince do a top and interior kit for our '16 touring before his untimely passing and the workmanship was excellent as well

Re: Upholstery and help and haul
I have Vince's videos on a DVD, but you never responded.

Installing an open car interior
I never looked at them and am willing to share with you.

Re: Upholstery and help and haul
I advise you to use the original running boards, if they are correct. The repros are not the same. The easiest way to tell, among other things, is the holes for the carbide generator will be drilled on both sides.
