Seat covers aren’t that tough to do yourself. I did the high back bucket seats on my 69 cougar and they came out great. People use silicone spray and even baby powder to get the covers to slide on. I’ve heard of people using copper hog rings that are a lot easier to crimp on. Get yourself a good quality set of hog ring pliers and let the new covers warm up really well in the sun.
