I got a quote for $350 to $400 for redoing the front seats in my 69 Chevrolet 90 Van. That was for everything New including new foam padding & replacing worn springs.

I'd check with Fred(fmc56) a member here. Don't know if he can beat the previous prices but from what I have seen and heard it's awful hard to beat his work.

I second the vote for fred. He does first quality work and is very reasonable. Google Fred Carello to see some of his work. He did the whole interior in my 61 pickup.

Id say $ 250 to 500 is a fair range, depends on the extent of the job and how good /talented the guy is and what kind of material they use

Hi Fred. If you still want that TV I'd be glad to trade it for the Willy's coupe sitting there. That's sweet.
Can't go wrong with a Fred Interior. Here's what he did for my 61.
Thanks Fred!!!

I really like the 65 mustang red vinyl. Do you also do the rear seats of a club wagon? Mine is a 61, what is the ball park to do both rear benches and two front buckets? Driver seat has some broken springs...
