55 Fargo Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Here is a pic of my seats abck in the car. This guy did a great job, they were all packaged in heavy ploy and sewn shut when I got them, very nice job, and super firm and comfortable too.

They look really sharp and when you get the rest of the interior done, it will seem like a totally different car! Congratulations!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoelOkie Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Your seats look great, Fred. You got a hell of a deal to boot. Nice progress, Fred. Dash toys....I don't have any, but I am looking for a steering wheel suicide knob with a picture of a very busty naked lady embedded in the clear plastic, like I had in my 55 Chevy truck in high school, for my 46 Ford pickup.

55 Fargo Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Fred, really looks nice. I will soon be at the upholstery stage. Can you give me some ideas about costs. Mine is a 4 door also. Hi Alan, the price is dependent on a few things. Are you doing some of the work yourself, or are you going to turn the complete job over to the upholsterer. Now are you doing everything, seats, door panels, headliner, kick panels carpet? Or are you doing just seats and door panels? For my car it needed everything, my seats cost about $750.00 for both, that was a steal of a deal, as normal is about $1500 to $2000 for the front and rear seats for re-upholstsery. I made my own door panels complete with new backer boards, this includes the armrests, about $200 for material,board and supplies for door panels and kick panels. The package tray I have enough material for that also, so that is part of that price. I will order a new ready made headliner, anywhere from $160 to $300. A pre cut, sewn carpet will be about $150 to $300. Insulation sound deadener about $200. Windlace, about,????? So as you see doing it your self can save you money, the seats are the biggest expense, I would say you could do it yourself complete for about $2000, and about anywhere from $3500 to $4500 for a complete job from an upholsterer, and this depends on the region of the country as this can vary from state to state..........Fred Edited January 19, 2010 by Rockwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
