What seems to be the average price of a full reupholstery of the stock seats? (please also include material information)
Also, what seems to be the best that people have found (not including things that have been done by you or through some sort of other agreement) Thanks, Charles |

A good upholsterer will charge about 75 per set to install them perfectly. (backrest and cushion are easy, the bolster back requires a bit of stretching!) |

I had my two seats recovered by a local upholstery shop (one that has a good reputation and does a lot of hot rods, etc.). Cost was $400 for two. I decided for comfort over originality, and had him use a fabric material. They came out great. Joe

Couldn't you get houndstooth cloth and still look pretty original. That and a recovered back pad is what I want, post paint of course.
