That seat looks great. Did you do it, or did an upholstery do the work? What brand of cover is that. I need to re-do the seat in my 74 F100.

Keep up the good work. :thup:

I wish I did it, lol. I brought my busted, nasty and worn out seat to an upholstery shop, and voila! Two days later, that's what I got. No recover, the foam was completely gone and he had to repair some of the seat springs. It was too far gone for me to attempt to fix.

I think for $200, you got a real nice seat and new foam to boot.

Where are you from? I went to 5 upholstery shops here in St. Louis and I couldn't find anyone to do my crews seats for less than $400 per seat! You got quite a deal there. :thup:

So Cal man, you gotta love it. The guy I went to is an old school Mexican guy that's been doing it for YEARS. He does everything, boats, couches, everything. So, if I need other stuff done, gotta do it soon!

Where abouts in SoCal is he located? I'm going to have to have the cloth panels in my seat replaced at some point as they are starting to wear out in a couple places and some foam is rotting out too.
