Aftermarket or reupholster seats
I don't think there is a cheep way out on upholstery. It's one of the few parts of my build I couldn't completely do myself. Believe me-if I had the sewing machine, I would have tried. LOL I would have gotten them from Legendary and put on myself, but they wanted over 2 times the $ for my color! ?? So, I found a local upholstery guy to sew it. I still had to do rust cleanup and paint on the bottom of the frame. He was just going to make it from the old one I removed and I would put it on myself. He got it half done and asked me to bring the seat over to see how it would lay, then ended up doing most of the install. I still had to make cuts through for seat belts, and rework part of it cause the seat back was binding. Also I did the headrests with SEM and installed them. I bought the material and small welt cord online after weeks of back and forth with samples. Final cost of $500 for the front bench (back is original)That's 325 to the upholstery guy and 150 in materials plus tax.
