I need some guidance on the upper front seat halves. I am guessing you just flip it inside out and apply the hog rings or what? 
This sucks!

Eh, not the hardest thing in the world, just takes some time...peice of advice, get yourself a good pair of tin snips!!!!
It's been pretty straighforward so far, I am just a bit wary about the next step. Hey, look at it this way, at least you know who to ask if you run into any problems.

What is it that you're snagged on? just fitting the leather onto the seat, or what? i'm sure it takes some finesse to get them on becuase they fit really snug....

In all other instances, you could simply apply the hog rings, then stretch the leather over the foam...however, in the case of the front...there is ALOT more stretching to do. I am 99% sure of the technique, but I wanted to run it by someone else to make sure I am doing it right.
