Leather Upholstery Price
I have an all leather front bench seat in my '64 DeVille that I am about to redo. That includes replacing the foam and repainting the side moldings on the sides of the seats. I want to keep it original and use real leather. I was quoted $1500 just to do the seat, but that seems a bit high. What is a reasonable price to pay for this job? Thanks,
Chris

Definitely check around. If you were local to me I would run you down to Auto Interiors in Raleigh NC. They have been around forever and do good work. Not cheap, but as they say you get what you pay for. Jason.

Yes, that would be including the leather. I just wanted to check around before dishing out that kind of money. Thanks for the input Jason.

Are they providing the original leather (if so probably sourcing from SMS) and matching the paint exactly. If price includes original correct leather and original interior matching paint that's probably not too far off. There's a lot of material on one of those seats and guess a good % is just for the materials, then you have to factor in the considerable labor to really do it right.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
