Got some ultra leather samples in today! I think that the one on the left is what will be used for my seats and other interior parts, it is Sand. The other colors were too light. Also stuck my window cranks and my door handles on to get an idea of how much room I'll have between them and the door panel after they get covered.

Yep......the suspense is killin me. Taking a seat to ae shop for them to look at it then they should be able to quote me. I found the ultra leather for $54 a yd but this guy said he would beat that with $40 a yard, that's if I let him do the job I'm sure.

Cool! Can't wait to see what you wind up with!

I have drawn out a couple of designs for the seats and will be taking them with me today to the upholstery shop to give them an idea of what I am looking for. The seats are pretty flat so a little bolster on the bottom and back sides will help get the look I want. This is a good shot that shows how flat they really are.

Here's the scoop. I talked to the upholstery guy and struck a deal with him. We are ordering the material next week and then doing the seats the following week, or possibly the week after. Looks like it's gonna be a great Christmas!!!!!!

BuiltwithIvy · 11-18-2011, 11:30 PM

Sounds great... I used to do some interior work, and even with my purchasing through a business account I couldn't do 40 a yd on ultra leather, great deal man!

slick copper · 11-19-2011, 02:12 AM

That guy turned out to be a sham!!! I left his place and drove one block away to talk with another guy. He get's it for the same price I do, $54 a yard. But he is going to do the seats for alot less than anyone else. I was quoted $800 to $1100 just for the seats with me buying the material. He is doing everything in the interior for about $1000

It was more like a furniture shop so I didn't get a good feeling from the beginning.

I'm a little worried about the color choice because when it's all covered and in the truck it will look totally different than a small sample in your hand. Scary!

Slick67 · 12-01-2011, 05:33 PM

Just got an email from Mar-K. My truck is featured in the customer trucks area this month. Sweet.

Can't wait! The material is ordered and should be in by the end of the month. Seats may be covered by the end of January along with everything else.

Hahhaah......9 days already?? Shopping and working is the culprit for my absence. Christmas is getting expensive and my truck is tucked safely in the garage. I went to 77chris's house to look at his project today and then I have my work Christmas party tonight so no updates on my ride!

I woould love to see his truck in person, it looks really nice. I have my work party tonight as well, something tells me I won't be doing much of anything tommorow. Have fun and be safe. Later, Kelly.
