I have never done anything such as seats or any interior for that matter. I just read a previous post about painting the inside myself which sounds simple enough and will save me a bunch of money. I would get the headlinear done pro. but what about the seats, carpet, dash? If i am going from standard seats to the pony covering would their be a diff., such as the padding? Is this something i could do my self as a first timer. Is their any good videos i could get? Any tips would help. Thanks, Corey.

 

I'm the son and grandson of upholsterers and some of it rubbed off. The first one I did came out great; on the second I got cocky, and it wasn't as good. The last couple of dozen or so I've done, I did the right way.I had to buy about $75 in special tools to do the tasks. I would recomend that you find a local shop and see if they are willing to work with you; you provide the seat covers and buns (aka foam cushions) already cut and sewn to fit. You strip the old seats, wire brush and paint the frames, and they provide new burlap for the bottoms, seat backsand felt for the front edges. Now you see it is a little more complicated than you thought at first and I've left out a few things. For example, I only put covers on after they've been sitting in the hot sun for an hour. And Pony covers are a little more difficult than standard.
Carpet and dash are a snap. Buy 'How To Restore Your Mustang' by Larry Dobbs, National Parts Depot $16.95, a good book to have.

66gtkfb are the covers held on with hog rings i never took mine after just redyed them and used them

 

I had never done anything like it either until I did my entire interior myself. It really isn't rocket science.

 

If you take it apart yourself it should be simple to see how it goes together. The only problem I would see is the headliner.

 

Yeah, the problem with the headliner on the 65-66 is that the front and back glass have to come out. I had that done by a pro/

 

I have never done this beofre either....just taking my time

I too will have the headliner done by a professional...

 

i was wondering the same thing...sounds like im going to be doing my interior myself now haha

 

Hello.It really isn't very difficult at all. It will cost a couple of hundred bucks per door more to go to pony from standard. There are two pieces of trim on the pony door panels that are a little pricey, you have to swap out the standard interior door handle and latch lever for pony, plus there's the cups and mounting brackets. And the standard seat back framesare a little different from the pony seat back frames, which will cause the pony door panel arm rest to barely hit the seat back when you close the door. You also have to cut a hole in the bottom of the doors for the pony courtesy light and run the appropriate wiring. None of this is difficult or complicated, it will just be a little expensive and there is a lot of stuff to do. If you decide to stay with standard, it will go a lot quicker and be a bit easier on the purse. Hope that helps.

 

we did pony with standard door panels.....new seat foam...new dash pad.....paint on everything that needed it....not rocket science as soaring said, but time consuming...and well worth it when done...
