Big Al Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I want to replace my front bucket and rear seat covers. I took my car to a couple of upholstery shops and there prices seemed crazy to me, can't see why there prices are so high to just replace seat covers. I was wondering if anyone has replaced there bucket and rear seat covers and if it was hard or easy. also is there any instructional book or DVD I can purchase to assist me in replacing the covers.

Sam (Bones) Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 it's very labor intensive the seat foam and covers I purchased costs 651.00 from Legendary (that's just the 2 bucket seats) but I did get 25% off so they were 498.00 plus shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I also got my seat covers from Legendary. Bucket seat with bolster covers that sit really comfortably. I had a local installer put mine on and it was $300, that included both front seats and the rear seat. I installed my own carpeting and the trim panels. I did mine a year ago and they have held up really well. I get a lot of great comments on the interior now I just need to redo the dash.

FASTSS454 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I did the interior in my Monte, order the Legendary and go to Eastwood and order a box of hogrings and a hogring pliers and have at it, it isn't that difficult of a job, I also did a Katzkin leather in my Silverado.

monte70car Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I did the rear seat in my 72 order a rear seat cover, already had the hog rings on hand. I used green foam from a fabric store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdrive Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 You can do an Internet search and find alot of info on installing seat covers and do it yourself. I did a set from a '66 Mustang for a family member before I did mine. Read up and then ask questions here. You'll do fine. The rear seat is easy. Buckets, a little more work.

Big Al Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 I went ahead and order the front buckets and the rear seat covers from Legendary. Legendary said it would take 8 weeks for me to receive the seat covers. They actually make the seat covers after you place your order. All, thank you for the info.
