After checking around some I got a price from a local shop that will install the covers I order for around $125 to $150.   Dante's had the best price.  I am still a little uncertain as to if I can do this or trust it to a pro.  The local shop also said if they do not fit right then I get what I get.  They would make from scratch for between $600 and $700.  By ordering covers and paying maybe the $150, I am still looking at $635.00.  So many  choices..... :money: :money:

$150 would be worth it ..... Custom for $700 sounds unreal cheap... Did they say anything about the material they would use? If your trying to stay OE looking the Legendary covers would be close for sure.   Your Money Your Decision. My  :2cents:     Probably can't go wrong either way.

What do you mean by "Not as good as Legendary"? Don't they look right? Are they made of crappy material? Don't they fit right? What is the problem with them. Legendary wants $600 for 2 seats, Dante gave me a quote of $299, PUI wants $219. I'm not building a show car, so I'd like to know exactly what the differences are.

Prices as follows with shipping.............Legendary  $502,,,,,Paddock  $522.90.........Yearone  $495,,,,,,,,,,,Dante's  $484.30 .   This is for the two front buckets and rear bench seats for a 73 Challenger since my 70 had 73 seats!!  I don't know who makes  the covers for who but I have heard that  PUI does make a good cover.  I am only building a driver too.

Just got mine from Paddock, along with the rest of the interior, hope they will be OK. Just had headliner installed and am looking forward to actually having an interior in the old car. The new head liner sure does make a differance, and I cant wait for the seat covers too.
