Just had the seats reupholstered

[Jred]

My seats were the original seats and vinyl. The dye from the seats was migrating off the seats with every drive in the summer heat. The outside corners of the seat were splayed open, dry and aged. Originally I found some leather and textiles from Relicate leather that were intended to replace the og upholstery. The summer sun was heating up the vinyl to intolerable temps for the wife and kid so I decided to go cloth centers. The upholsterer I found suggested using some dead stock from 1965 and some vinyl he could source to match closely. Both options ended up saving me quite a bit of cash. I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out and his work is really nice. I’d love to post some picts but with a limit of 5kb that seems near impossible.

Okay deleted some picts in my past threads. See if that works…

Your seats look nice!  I had the carpet and entire interior along with seatbelts redone in my '76 over last Fall and Winter in a vinyl very similar to what was in the car but was getting very tired.

I would love to have mine like yours! Would the guy or girl that did this want to make a second set and send it over to the Netherlands? I've got the same seats without headrest. Maybe you can give me an name or address?

Much as I disdain the cupholder as a measure of quality, tell me more about yours! The rest of teh interior is fantastic as well!

Ron Dame, I like your creativity in mounting your cupholders. To mount them on the console, did you have to install any backing underneath?
