Probably cheaper and you can get different "firmness" also. Worth a call at least.
I just replaced the drivers side bucket seat bun on my 68 fastback. it already had custom made covers on it, and they weren't exactly like the originals I guess. tuned out ok, but wasn`t as easy as some would have you think. didn`t use the back rest bun, the orig isn`t depleted like the botton foam was.I am lucky and have a really good shop in the area. I have a broken spring on the drivers side of my bench and the original velour seat covers so I will not touch it I am scared I will screw it up. Brought the car there and got a quote of 150 with new foam and can choose the firmness. They were contouring foam that day for a custom car and it is a Hot knife they use to do it. Prob pretty cheap just for the buns. I would think they need the seat for reference also. My 2 cents.
Thanks to all for the input, I have a shop recommended to me here, I will call them Monday.I just replaced the drivers side bucket seat bun on my 68 fastback. it already had custom made covers on it, and they weren't exactly like the originals I guess. tuned out ok, but wasn`t as easy as some would have you think. didn`t use the back rest bun, the orig isn`t depleted like the botton foam was.

Yikes, what a job!!! I wonder what you do for the Burlap? Thanks for the info....I did my front two seats myself. I took before pics (so I could put them back together, lol), but not any during pics.
For a "Super-detailed" seat restoring job, check out the "Biohazard" thread by @Teeth & Tires. His seat rebuild starts around page 51 or Biohazard
FWIW, I used burlap from Michaels. Not quite a coarse as original but I didn't mind. Hobby Lobby or most any craft store should have it.Yikes, what a job!!! I wonder what you do for the Burlap? Thanks for the info....
