there are some old kodgers who runs upholstery shops outta their garages around the back roads between parkland/spanaway/puyallup with only a small sign out in front of the yard. My old boss is a hodrod guy and has some badass work done for cheap from one of them, but there are several actually and he says they all do good work

theres a good shop here in Vancouver, they do really good work, but it's a bit of a drive for you. Several years ago they did the front (bench) seat in my brother's 74 dart (black vinyl w/ leapord inserts), somewhere around $250, but he had to supply the leapord. I also had them do the seat for my 75 honda mt250 and that was only $60 and i think they put new foam in too!!

 

anyway, good shop, they do ALOT of major hotrod projects and what not. If you want I could get contact info, or maybe even a quote, just off of I-5 exit 5 (WA)

$350 is a pretty good price, as far as I've seen... I've been to one shop and they quoted me $800-$1,000 to redo the entire bench in plain automotive fabric... Mind you, I need the entire thing redone (I'm pretty much down to bare springs), but I think that's still pushing it. Only shop I checked, but I think if it's that much there, it'll be pretty close just about anywhere else. I'm considering doing it myself... it might not look the absolute best, but I know my way around a sewing machine, and it seems pretty easy to figure out some sort of foam/padding combination, and then at least I could do it in the fabric I wanted in a style I wanted...

 

kiznook: How much do you think they'd charge to get an entire bench redone from the springs up? Or, could you get some contact info and post it up?

 

Jason: Are you still getting that headliner redone, or has it already been taken care of? If not, I would recommend just pulling it from the car, spraying some 3M adhesive on it, and smoothing some new material onto it... it'd run you just the cost of a can or two of the adhesive, plus whatever it costs to get a couple yards of the material you want.
