Pictures would really help out. How were the old covers hog ringed in place?

Take and post some pictures of the seat covers on the frame for us to look at.
Preferably the bottom of the upright part.

Here are some pictures of your seats before you took the covers off (from Franks for sale thread) if that helps.

He is correct, they are stapled to a backer bar not hog ringed.

Re: HELP buddy buckets need install new cover help my guy is lost
Here are some pics of the backer bar. Its a channel that goes over and then riveted to the metal bracket. Its kinda a rubber/composite material.......

Show him these pictures and mention backer bar, if he still looks puzzled you need to find a different upholstery shop.
