Installing C1 seat covers.

[Steve W.]

I need to have the seats recovered in my 62. Any good installers (with C1 experience) in the southeast, i.e., Atlanta, Nashville etc.? Thanks, Steve

I did the complete restoration on the interior of my 60 myself, including the dashpad, except the seat covers. I knew it was something I could do, but springs and other items needed to be replaced so I sent them off to Al Knoch. They did a fantastic job. Not sure if that's the type of recommendation you were look for so...

Also, I'm sure a competent leather/interior shop could accomplish the same thing, but I knew Al Knoch would stand by their work.

If you still have the original rubber cushion , (shoot steam into them and it'll bring them back to life like new) before you install the covers.

I thought about calling Al Knoch and try to get on his 'show recovering' list for the Sevierville Expo show next spring. Did you just ship you entire seat sections to him?

Next Corvette-Expo in Sevierville,TN will be Oct 23, 2010. If Al Knoch installers are going to attend it is not to early to get a confirmation from Al Knoch now to do your seats. They will bring your new covers to the the show. If you order them before make sure you take your invoice to prove you bought the covers from them.
Next Corvette-EXpo in Sevierville, TN will be March 2011.

Yes. Packed and shipped via UPS. I don't recall how long it took. Pretty quick from what I remember. I was doing the rest of the interior restoration while they were gone so I wasn't in a hurry.

Thanks guys. I believe I'll schedule Al for my seats for the next Expo. I know they will be done right.
