I am wondering how hard it would be to recover if I bought an interior set from Jim Carters?? I know it's expensive whatever route I go. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
What interior set are you referring to (post a JC part number)?

JC's color combination is not correct for 54/55 (what year do you want)?
Otherwise, I bought a maroon set (which should have only been sold as 1953, I think). The quality and fit was fine. JC's installation kits are not completely adequate - poor instructions and no coir-like matting).

Probably the standard brownish color. I thought about buying a roll of Naugahyde and taking that to the interior guy but am afraid at what he will quote me. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 | Anyone else sell a seat cover kit for a 1949 suburban?? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | Why would you buy parts from someone else and have them installed by your local guy? The upholsterer has probably more choices of good stuff than anything you'll get from a catalog. Pay a visit to your upholsterer first and see how it goes. Take a sample of your seat material with you. The good guys have seen it all before and can guide you properly to your goal. And probably save you some cash as well. Get some references from the street rod guys and restorers first. Get your head out of your.............catalog:) | | |
