upholstery shop in North Texas

Hey everyone, I was just relocated to the DFW area, and am living in North Richland Hills. I'm looking for a good upholstery shop locally that I can take my seat to. It's for my '69. Any suggestions?

Re: upholstery shop in North Texas

Thanks clay68c10. I do appreciate it. From looking at their stuff on the website, it does look to be very nice work. I haven't called them yet for pricing.

By the way, are there any car shows or get togethers that anybody does in this area?

Check out these guys' show. Once a month and there's a pretty good turnout.

if he's busy and his helper doesn't answer the phone, he won't stop to answer the phone. very dedicated 1 man shop, and he would rather work hard than be overloaded with customers wanting help. if you go up there though he's very nice to talk to. an old black man is who you're looking for by the way.

Re: upholstery shop in North Texas

I have no info on upholstry shops but I am from TX and someone needs to look at a map.There is a great deal of Tx above the DFW area.You can drive 5-6 hours northwest and still be in Tx.

No kidding, right? It's also true for just about any direction west, southwest, and south.

Re: upholstery shop in North Texas

Welcome to DFW!
I've used both Cal's top shop in Ft Worth and Pendletons in Cleburne. Both do excellent work. Cal's is a little higher priced. I recently had a bench seat and 67 style door panels done in black tweed at Pendletons for $325. Cal's wanted $460 for the same work.
