Pony gets some new hides
Got started on the upholstery for the 66 Mustang. It's getting a fresh 'Pony' (aka Deluxe) Interior.
The old seats didn't look horrible, considering their age but... they still looked old, worn, and dirty - including cigarette burns. Fresh vinyl makes a big difference.
The rear seat is pretty straightforward to redo. The front buckets are quite a bit more involved with listing wires and other details. We replaced some missing parts and used new foam to restore cush for the tush.
