I just ordered new vinyl upholstery for my 67 bucket seats, including new seat foam buns and a hog ring kit. Has anyone tackled this project on their own? Any tips you can give me before I start?

There was a great thread a few months back on upholstering bucket seats in a classic with lots of hog rings and beer involved. Search the archive.

I just this weekend finished a complete upholstery on my 66 coupe (Pony interior). I was a bit intimidated at first but it was relatively easy to do and the results are great. One key is to warm the covers up in the sun for 30 minutes of so to get them nice and flexible. The buckets are a bit of a chore due to the listing wires that need attaching to give the seat its shape. It also helps to have a 50-60 pound son who can sit on the springs and make the underside attachments easier

Mustang Monthly had a few good articles:

It really is doable, just be patience and work slowly. Good luck

One more thing I forgot to mention. If you have the old seats, take lots of pictures so you can refer back to them. Once you have the old covers off its easy to forget how certain things were attached. This is especially useful for re-configuring the sliding hardware on the bottom that allow the seat to go back and forth on the floor
