Upholstery cost

I was rolling around town today saw an upholstery shop so thought I'd stop and talk about my 63 sdv front seat.

He said about $100/yd. @3 yards + $250 labor.

Sound about right using the old leather?

This is a ways down the road, but just getting ideas on cost. Also, anyone ever put cruise on one of these things(aftermarket)?

Thanks for any insight

Comment by Jason Edge on February 22, 2014 at 2:52pm: I think I got about 3 yards back in 1997 and that was enough to do front and rear seat and door panels and rear upper interior panels on my 64 CDV. I'm assuming the fabric is original sourced from someone like SMS. If aftermarket "similar design" pattern it should be much less.

I have almost an entire original cruise setup, just missing the dash switch top plastic slide pieces. $100 + s/h

While in the middle of my front suspension rebuild, I realized it would be nice to remove the bumpers on the control arms. Does anyone have an easy method for removal? Continue

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,
