So today I finally took my 70 2wd Blazer to the upholstery shop to get the interior done. The Blazer is Hugger and the interior is gonna be black with black and white houndstooth seats (Although the back seat is gonna be done at a later time). I'll post before and after pictures soon. Keeping my fingers crossed it comes out good. The upholstery shop said it was gonna be a 2 day turnaround.

Hurray!!!!!

romarti0825 · 03-15-2011, 09:37 PM

@ C-10 King, When it's finished I'm even gonna do "Giggle Giggle..."!

C/10 King · 03-19-2011, 12:09 AM

Well, it's been 3 days.

See you Sunday.

yeah. 338s. I got a great deal from a place in Woodland

romarti0825 · 04-08-2011, 01:22 AM

Now all baby needs is some new shoes!

hotrodhomi · 04-11-2011, 11:32 PM

i love it. Do you have a rear seat?

romarti0825 · 04-11-2011, 11:52 PM

Yeah. The rear seat is at the upholstery shop getting done. I got an original seat but I'm having the frame cut down so it's more even with the front seats.

themb2g · 04-12-2011, 11:30 PM

looks nice! Who did you get to do these and if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost? I am planning on doing the same look here in a few months and I am trying to get a good figure. Thanks!

tubbedII · 04-13-2011, 02:25 PM

Looks amazing!!!

72BlckButy · 04-13-2011, 02:34 PM

Interior looks amazing!!!

romarti0825 · 04-13-2011, 06:05 PM

Thanks guys. I went to an upholstery shop in Montclair CA called Medas. I bought the seat covers and carpet kit from Brothers. For the install and for them to make the side panels it cost $400.

I would love to see pics on this when your done. I've been thinking about lowering my rear seat but haven't had the time to work on it. Where are you cutting the frame? Interior looks great by the way.

romarti0825 · 04-13-2011, 09:13 PM

Thanks. They are cutting an inch from the middle of the back. I was scared when I dropped the seat off at the upholstery shop because I was sad to think of them chopping on a perfectly good seat. So as soon as they took measurements I left in a hurry. Lol...
