Re: 69 Chevy - Seeking Upholstery Color Match
69 Mischief and Chrome 8,
Who ever reupholsters their seat first sends his used seat cover to the other. That way, a good upholstery shop can take the good parts of both seats and make 1 good one. Don't laugh, have done it several times over the course of the past 25 years, or so. Check w/your local upholstery shop. My upholstery guy keeps all the old ones he takes off for this very reason. Luckily on my 70 GMC, the wear on the seat was minimal, so he was able to "save" the original seat cover, although the pic is "before". Given the color variances between manufacturers, quality/fit issues and overall scarcity of original "aqua" ("green vinyl custom"....see SPID) interiors, reusing the originals is my preferred course of action.
