I was asked some time ago to help out in getting these material made. I finally got off my butt and pulled the trigger on this. I have 7 for the 9 in stock and will have the other 2 late next week.
Materials will run per yard. Or I can have kits sewn up as shown. All 4 pcs $125, + the materials cost. It is recommended you purchase 2 yards to get the sections to line up properly, does burn up material. I will sell sample cards for $25 each that have 3" square samples. If you buy the $25 will be credited to your purchase. I plan to have the GB open til Dec 10th, so if you are looking for a Christmas gift for your car this might be the thing. I sent a kit out to Ken, he should have Friday. Material is $127 per yard If you have us do the 4 pcs kit it will take 2 yards for all 4. Attached image(s) |

I was wondering how best to replace the faded and ripped red plaid in the '76. This is way cool.
However, I thought I knew that there is a difference between seat cushions, early vs. late. Is this true? And which do these kits fit? |

I was wondering how best to replace the faded and ripped red plaid in the '76. This is way cool. However, I thought I knew that there is a difference between seat cushions, early vs. late. Is this true? And which do these kits fit? The only variations I've seen don't necessarily affect the plaid. The early seats have a fixed passenger back with a base that bolts down (not a bucket style seat). There was variation on the vinyl designs, - brick mold vs basket weave. To answer the question on the replacement of the plaid inserts, that's why I set this up. There is the option for you to sew, or have sewn the material only, or for us to provide you a "kit" that is pre sewn. The kit will require some skill level to install, on a scale of 1-10 probably a 5 to make it look perfect. If you are planning to do it I'd recommend reviewing the site on seat rebuilds done here. There are many people that don't have a lot of experience that have done very well, it basically is a matter of how comfortable you are with it. Perhaps locating a spare set to disassemble. That would give you a good idea if you are ready. If not, any upholstery shop, should be able to install these. Hope this helps Mark |
