    Seat Skins
    « on: May 08, 2008 - 05:57:15 AM »
    Anyone have any suggestions on the best place and price to buy seat skins . Paddocks is about $500.00 and Year 1 is about $550.00 .

    How about putting them on have any of you tried that yourself or should I farm it out ? :feedback:

    I took mine from Nick's classic parts. http://www.nicksclassicparts.com/

    He is a dealer for the Legendary seat skins. I got my skins for a good price when I purchased also some other interior parts. He is a great guy to deal with, so give him a call/email for a quote.

    I did the rear seat back and bottom myself.  It was my first time ever, and I'm real happy with how they came out.  The front buckets I had a seat guy do.  Mine is a 73 Challenger, and for 72-74 E bodies, the seat foams are not reproduced.  I needed the foam in mine rebuilt as part of the installation, which is why I farmed that part out.  If your foams are all in good shape, you should not have too much trouble.  You just need some patience, especially on the buckets.

    Cody did an excellent seat skin installation web page when he worked with his -70 cuda seats. It can be found from here:

    don't know how similar your seats are to the ones in my 73 barracuda, but i just put the seat covers back on mine last weekend.
    wasn't too hard at all, you just need a pair of hog ring pliers and patience. good luck!
