re-upholster question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can someone tell what is the best way to get your seats re-upholster--by doing it yourself or having it done for you? LMC has an upholster section in its magazine that states it gives you everything you need to do it yourself. I didn't see it mentioning foam for the seats, but fabric and wire and "hog pliers."
The reason I'm asking is I called an upholster today about this burb I'm checking out and he said it would be $1500 to re-upholster the 3 bench seats. Is this the going rate for it? And how hard would it be doing it myself?
Thanks for the help,
Joe
