Im looking for someone cheap that can re upholster a seat for my f100 in southern Minnesota. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Maybe you'd better explain that a bit more... You need someone to do the work for less money than the next guy...??? Or you're looking for someone that does inexpensive and poor quality work...??? R-
If you don't want to spend much you probably just need to order a cover you can install yourself, upholstery work is not cheap.
Go to the fabric store, get some marine vinyl. it's black friday, so it is on sale. get a bunch, and also heavy "german" thread. find someone with a stout sewing machine and get to work. I did it myself on two cars. About $200 for doors and two seats. be creative.
Check your local craigslist listings a lot of places do conversions and sell new seats,pickups are EZ just measure the width and bolt em' down I had 1988-90 seats in my '65. In your area try this:http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/ptd/3413935270.html
I'm looking for the inexpensive poor quality. I can't spend 1,100 on a seat. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
I notice you changed your avatar. Are you putting a seat in your truck? That just reduced your bill by half. Seriously, the craft store has foam, vinyl, thread, velcro, everything you need for way less than $1100. I recovered a chevy truck bench for my 53, cut the sides down by an inch so it sat lower, but it worked great.
There is a thread on here about getting thrown away old leather couches/chairs and using the material from that for seats! That's inexpensive/cheap but....could be very good quality!
I would do some calling around.. We re-foamed and covered my cousins '59 ford truck seat then took it to the shop to get stitched up.. Total was $500 for everything. One seat shouldn't set you back to much. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
You can call Jay Peterson. He has quite a waiting list but I have had him do several jobs for me and he has been reasonable. https://plus.google.com/11129134270...hl=en#111291342708280409217/about?gl=us&hl=en
Frenchie, PM me. We have a new fella in town that has 30 years experience. He is looking to get his name out. He approached out club last week. There is a bit of a language barrier, but from what I have heard, he is good.
I'm doing a 60 ford, this one I built when I was 17. Sold a long time ago. But same deal only need the seat done. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
