Has anyone bought the new fabric kits from classicindustries and reapolostered the seats? How hard is it to do?

My seats have a few rips and would like to get them redone, so any feedback would be appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken, it's the same kit that Hawk's and few others are also selling.

If that's the case, they look GREAT.......buuuuut not quite exact. The material is a tad different. I get compliment left and right at shows, and have even won a "best interior" award, but I can tell it's not exact OE material. A few other's here would agree. They sure look great, but they're not 100% exact as far as material.

I needed to have my seats re-padded so I had an upholstery shop do the work.

I dont really care if its exact, I just want it to look good.

How much does it run to have a shop do them?

Im way out of the loop

I think it was about $275, but that included repadding the worn out seats too.

Cool, I will look into that.

thanks

I've recovered the seats in my wifes 72 Skylark. It was fairly straight forward process.

I believe we had both the front and rear benchs done in 1 day.

I have the Hawks Hampton Vinyl set in my car and I love them. Doing it myself was very easy, though fabric covers will be a tad harder because the fabric wouldn't slide onto the faom quite as easily as vinyl does. If you can spin a wrench and use pliers, you should be able to tackle it yourself. The only part you can really make a mistake on is making the holes for the headrests' belt attachments, or perhaps if you poke a tool through that material for some odd reason. The auto interior shops sell the closed cell foam you would need to rebuild deteriorating bolsters too.
