Re: boyd coddington,s upolster quote .......

If you rationalize that you can or should spend 10-20 thousand on your interior, than you are just looking for the prestige of telling the story behind your nicely crafted job.

Kinda like a woman buying new shoes or expensive Jewelry, but in the manly way.

I can think of 2 or 3 high end upholsterers out here that would easily match that kind of work for even HALF the price.

Its braggin rights man, high priced bragging rights.

Hey, it makes good conversation, but I'd rather spend the $$$ somewhere else.

IMO
