I think so too. I just got the crow bar unstuck from my wallet and ordered the materials for this job. Yikes!
Here is a pic I am basing my seat design off from. Notice top left of the pic? That's the price with shipping for the door panel scrolled material for a 69 Chevy, And the scrolled middle of the seat section, 4 yards of vinyl and 1 yard of the cloth. This is by far the most money I've spent on this truck other than paint, for any one area. The dash pad, arm rests and visors will be re-covered to match.
The cloth sections will be much smaller, just the middle areas of the side seating positions. The back part bolstering will probably stay pretty much as is. The bottom bolstering may be beefed up a bit or cut out of the middle some. The scroll will go down the middle of the seat and cover the arm rest in the up position. If there is enough left over I want it on the inside too so you can see it on the arm rest when its down.
Dash pad should look like this...

Arm rests something like this...

Here are pics of the material samples I got from SMS Auto Fabrics. Great to deal with so far. They kept a file from when I requested the samples. I call them up, give them my name and look up exactly what I requested and we both know what the other is referring to. It takes a few weeks to get the scroll work embossing done, so I just have to wait to see what shows up. Hopefully I will like what I see.
The cloth has a little fish shaped pattern in it which I love. Perfect for me, and perfect for my aquamarine theme I got going. Might be able to see it better in this pic...
