Re: Upholstered Seat

Is that from scratch or is it from a shop?

An upholstery shop did it. It cost $620.00. That included a carpet he ordered for me.

Re: Upholstered Seat

That looks great. It looks like they put in new foam also.

Be sure to use liberal amounts of ARMOR ALL on that bench to help preserve the vinyl...............

hot, but when you have all vinyl seats and a rubber rug everything cleans so easy

Re: Upholstered Seat

Anyone know where one could find the OEM bench foams besides LMC that won't charge a fortune for them? Thinking about a DIY that would use Mexican saddle blankets for that ol' school look. My foams stink, bad. No choice, can't salvage them.

Saw online where I can get the extra plush upholstery foam in bulk, then just use an electric carving knife to shape them. Might do that instead. Also considering a faux reptile print in vinyl for the seat and maybe even the dash, at $35 a yard...

I don't know what co., made the material. It is strong cloth material. Nylon I think. If you need the info I could try to get it from the upholstery shop.
