New Upholstery!!

[Fdwilliamson]

Im just thoroing this out there to see how may people would be interested in having upholstry work done.
I have redone both of my cruisers myself now, and they look great. I would be interested in doing it for others, but i would have to have several interests as I would have to buy a new machine to get started.

price would be $325 per seat in a high quality vinyl. bottem and back.

Your choise of single color, or two tone, and your choise of stitching color, double stitched.

I have not priced real lether, but I'm guestimating about $425 per seat.

The double stitching is not perfect as I was using my wifes little house machine once I buy a large upholstery machine stitching will be perfect.

I know it sounds a littl expensive, but if yu price the same thing out somewhere else you will see that I would be at least $100 less per seat.

Comment or message if you are interested. Also I can be reached at 5097030467
Here are a few pics of the ones in my Rig.
The before shot is of my first cuiser.

I won't discourage you from moving forward but I bought front/middle plus center and arms in leather for $1050 about three years ago.

I think it depends on the market you live in. Down here in South Florida we have a ton of shops doing it and that dries the rice down. Shipping for something so heavy is out of the question. So what I am saying is, your question only really applies to people who are local to you. It doesn't matter what the rest of us thin because we will reply based on our market not yours.

I got mine from Metric TLC but Shane has now gone AWOL, the other is Frank who's having a shop in Columbia do them at a very reasonable rate here https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/complete-80-series-leather-kits-oem-quality.858274/

Again I don't want to discourage you or anyone making stuff for the 80 but rather to let you know what you're up against market wise and knowing that everyone that makes stuff for the 80 doesn't make a ton of money doing but rather does it for the love of the truck and fellow mud members.

Thanks for the info. You dont send the seats. I have the pattern. All I have to do is send you the finished skin and it takes anout an hour to strip off the old one and put a new one on.

Holy cow, it took me literally six or seven hours to do the front and middle, I equate it to wrestling 3 hobbits in pitch blackness!

I meant an hour per seat. so 6 hours is not too bad.
