Can anyone suggest an upholstery kit for a set of Buddy Buckets in my 67? Would like to replace myself and looking for a kit.

I bought a set of red seat covers from one of the big name vendors and it was one of the "good" name brands. Two years later(spends winter inside) they faded to pink! The seller or supplier did not want to do anything to help. The 50 year old door panels look better color the the seat covers.Needless to say I will no do any more biz with either . If you would like the names feel free to private message me.

I used PUI covers on my Buckets seats in my truck and they started splitting ,. They did not last long the drivers side is split top and bottom.
They are not as thick as originals
just my 2 cents

I just ordered the scroll from CSM Gary Terry in Texas. His kit is a little bit more expensive with a little more lead time but totally worth it for fit and quality. I installed them myself, the first set of seats I’ve ever done and they came out killer.
