Maybe this is a profession I need to get into
I already have the covers, new foam, and the frames have been blasted and painted. All they need to do is assemble them... just some muscle and hog rings! lol I thought it was ridiculous! I talked to a shop in near by Pensacola and they said $50 per hour and should take no more than 4 to 5 hours, so that is $200 to $250. I think I can stomach that.
