Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

It looks about right if it came out of that truck behind it! Has anyone started reproducing the 70's cloth that's at least close to the original look?

It did come out that truck. I don’t get very many that are that bad, that I have to junk them. Most can be sandblasted & repainted, and they are good as new.

Depends on what 70’s clothe your talking about. Do you have a pic? There is some original fabric that can be gotten from SEM, but it’s god awful expensive.

That’s one of the ones that is very hard to get, if it’s even still available. If it is, SEM might have it, but it VERY expensive. But as far as repop, no one has so far. A close match but nothing identical.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

Just finished a 77-80 bench seat for someone in Minnesota. This is a fully restored seat. Frame, tracks and hardware are all restored. New Black Velour/Black Vinyl cover.
