My guy did all my seats for $100. He even fixed the foam in all seats... He also fixed the burlap in the rear seat...
Your guy needs to advertize here on the forum. Ain't no way I would do it for that and I used to be an auto trim guy. Where are you located? Might be some here want to look him up. In 92 I got my 68 done for 100.00 but I suspect 200.00 would be a good price now.

I'm going to talk to the guy who is doing the body and paint today, he said he had a good upholstery guy that I will check out. I'll see what he says. If I can get it done for $200 or so, I'll do that.

WD0AFQ, I really appreciate the offer. Thanks so much. Unfortunately, I do not have the upholstery yet, it is on order. [:@] If your around the area when I get it, maybe we could work something out.

Ok, if you do it yourself take pictures so these other guys can see. I was not into picture taking when we did mine 4 years ago. It is not hard to do, just labor intensive. I thought pulling wrinkles from the headliner was tougher. It did take 2 people to pull those seat covers on and get them straight. Good luck.

the seats are pretty easy, it took me about a day and a half to do mine and i had no idea what i was doing when i started. if i did it again it would probably take half that...once you get the hang of it its real easy. plus if you do it yourself you could possibly save yourself enough money to justify one of those sport seat conversion kits (thats what i did, i LOVE them...i get tons of compliments on them)

That's about what I remember from my experience. But I'll tell you this: next time I'll probably pay somebody. $200 sounds like a great deal!

I am doing exactly that, the sport seat conversions. I have the foam, waiting on the upholstery. Thinking about doing the headrests, they look ok right? I think it would help for safety too.

Connor, those tires and wheels look great on that Red Stang. What size are they, tires and wheels?
What are "sport seats"? I might need a set.
