Correct seats for my 1992 CHP

[NoDrama43]

complete recover with the correct material by a competent upholstery company will be somewhere north of 1800.00.

In my opinion it is worth every penny. It only takes a few years of a car sitting outside in the sunlight for the seat cloth to start to fade. The top of the back seat of my 1993 FHP car is literally bone white. Even though the insert material looks like new, when you place NOS material next to it you can see it has faded to a completely different color.

Gregg Henderson and I were discussing this very topic yesterday. Even though I have a large supply of original cloth (about 600.00 per car) I will still spend in the neighborhood of 20k completing all the interiors of my cars.

Wowzers! Did Gregg offer to take the 88 Missouri car off your hands, in order to ease your burden ever so slightly?

It is worth the extra time and money to buy the correct material to do the seats. I will say the it's going to be the 2nd most expensive cost on a resto of the car.

Correct on both counts! If you're aiming for a nice restoration, you cannot skimp on the upholstery, period.

The thought has crossed my mind. We'll see how things go after my shoulder surgery in Dec. Getting old puts up obstacles to the hobby.

You are right Jim, I was charged $750.00 to upholster my 92, Plus the material I had to order.

But well worth it !
