New hog rings here as well. Be prepared for some sore hands.

new hog rings....only way to do it....
it depends on what you do for a living (i guess) if you will have sore hands or not..
i did not have sore hands but did feel it somewhat in forearms..
but i've worked with my hands all my life(50+)
i completed our coupe in a day and a half
new seat covers and foam..carpet..dash pad..and painting 1/4 trim and install..
also painted dash before installing dash pad...
but i'm retired also...just take your time and you will end with a great looking interior....

Get the biggest and best set of hog ring pliars you can afford. I covered my seats in about 4 hours of intensive labor.

Unless your seats have foam missing leave the seat covers that are on there in place, put the new covers obver top the old ones. Makes for a better fit, and the job can be done in about 1/2 hour. No one will know seeeept, YOU.

That might be fine and dandy for the perimeter, but how are you going to get the hogrings secured in "the bucket" area by the piping on the seam where it securesd down around the metal wire? Pull off the old ones IMO.
