I finally got my buddy buckets recovered, so I feel like showing them off, lol.
New foams(driver and passenger) and covers. Got some before and after pics. What ya think? I know the frame is blue, and I gotta do something about the console yet.

byrd · 10-07-2006, 12:44 AM

wow, what a HUGE differnce. Those will look sweet once installed!!!

*bskylerj* · 10-07-2006, 01:10 AM

Those turned out great.

HeavyD · 10-07-2006, 01:44 AM

Good job! A little shot of black paint on the frame and paint/dye on the console and it will be ready to go. Did you upholster them yourself?

PS you are in school now? how is that going?

QKENUF4U · 10-07-2006, 10:02 AM

**clay68c10** · 10-07-2006, 10:04 AM

Yup, just a few things to do and will look good. I got someone local to recover them, and they did it really cheap too.

And yeah, I'm in school now, taking commerce at U of S. Goin good so far.

Nice, the more I see buddy buckets the more I want them for my Jimmy.

Sweet

Looks they'll work just fine for your project.
Good to see the comparison from 'project to near complete'. Good pics.

Great Job

**Steven B** · 10-09-2006, 04:04 PM

What was the final cost to redo them? I'm debating on whether or not to cover mine or get rid of them.

jhwkns · 10-09-2006, 04:41 PM

Hmm, lets see.

$350(CDN) for frame and what was left of the seats
$400(US) for the foams
$150(US) for the covers. Got a good deal on them here.
$100(CDN) to get them recovered.

And then there was shipping on the foams and covers.
