Re: Re-doing "La Blue" once again

Could you provide a better pic of the seat upholstery and pattern-it looks interesting.

Re: Re-doing "La Blue" once again

If you don't mind me asking who did the door panels and seat and how much did it all run you? If you don't want to say here could you possibly PM me? It all looks great!

Re: Re-doing "La Blue" once again

Did you just have the seat upholstered or did you have new foam and all installed as well? I would love to have a set of door panels like that and a seat like that as well. Not the same of course, but the craftsmanship looks great! Is there any chance you could get me a quote for a set of door panels like that and my seat re-upholstered with new foam using the same material as yours. I'm extremely envious of the work you've done.

+ some rep to you as well.

Re: Re-doing "La Blue" once again

The door panels are rod doors panels that you can buy online. The price on the upholstery work for the seat/panels will depend on exactly what you want done/shape of the original items/where you're located.

Re: Re-doing "La Blue" once again

Same material as on your seat and as for the pattern have it the same as yours but where my back and butt touch the seat have it as an hour glass type shape, where it gets narrow near the fold in the seat and comes back out near the top and edge. Not sure if I described it to well.

Thanks again,
-D

Re: Re-doing "La Blue" once again

trenz68, what do you think he'd charge for a set of door panels and kick panels. I'd get the whole set done but can't do w/out my seat. My brother is in ft worth but goes through Houston once in a while or I could pay for shipping. Would want a pattern similar to yours in black. pm me because I can't figure out how.

I imagine the guy that doesn't know how to turn right on a red light gets the message pretty quickly!

I need some of those.
