1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
Included in my list of mod and upgrades for my 1970 Mustang was some new upholstery.
Now there is always the issue of replacing vinyl with vinyl or replacing it with leather died to the color. But that’s just not going to happen on this “average” budget.
So I ordered a complete set of TMI from M Detail in Riverside, Ca. The price was right and although I’m not in a hurry the shipping was quick.
Now I’ve never done upholstery before, so this will be the first time. I’m also no expert in Corinthian vinyl (umm..I’m no Ricardo Montabon…) or Ruffino vinyl (just for the record I’m against harming Corinthains and Ruffinos so I specifically ordered imitation version) but the quality of the stitching and the thickness of the padding was very impressive.
So I’m going on the record as saying that if want to stay on budget and quality is important give TMI Upholstery a try.
I don’t receive compensations for these review, just make comments on what I like.
Thanks for reading.

Just thought I’d follow-up with the finished product.
If you look a back at the original post (http://wp.me/pKHNM-sS) you can catch up on this mini project.
After a few more hour of sanding with 220 and 600 grit and Purple Metal Polish (applied with the 600Â grit and polishing wheel for my Dremel) you can see the results as compared with the original code aluminum pieces.
Now I won’t be able use the entire kit from Summit Racing but I will install this as the replacement for the old stock tension bracket.
