Just got off the phone with Al Knoch......I have a pair of '70 seats that need re-covering, and they have open spots to do it at Bloomington Gold. I have the seats out of the car, frames are completely stripped, ready for reupholstering, and they quoted me for;
2 Std. Interior Bright Blue seat covers -$373.00
2 new foam kits - $189.00
LABOR - $375.00
--------------
$937.00, without tax, no bezels, no backs, etc.
I'm sorry, but when it costs nearly a friggin' GRAND to have my seats, which are out of the car and ready for new vinyl/foam, re-upholstered professionally, with standard crap vinyl....screw it, I'm going to Autozone and buying cheap seat covers. I've seen these guys at work...they're awesome, and I've seen them whip out a pair of seats in less than 2 hours, and that's including taking them out of the car and re-installing them. For 2 guys, that's $93.75 an hour. I am in the wrong business. And that's the "Show Special" price....the vinyl covers alone are $414.00 if you just go to the website and order them, and the show price includes the hog rings & stuff. I don't even want to know what the foam costs separately.
So if any of you guys want to cough up the dough, Al has openings at the Bloomington Gold show to get your seats redone or top installed. Just give 'em a call!
