Just curious if anyone would have an idea of how much it would cost to have my front seats redone. Both are the black leather type material and I'd like to keep them original. Thanks for any assistance you can give.....JL

I got a price from a place that does excellent work of $400 for the front and back. They put in all new burlap, cotton and foam. So probably around $200 for both of your buckets.

Don't forget that you will have to pay for the new covers... that will be around $200 in itself!

My local shop did my buckets for $300- I purchased and provided seat covers and the foam.

Just got mine rebuilt with bolstered sides, springs repaired, coil springs installed, and covered in leather. Grand total for buckets and rear, $1442.00

Thanks for all of your assistance & imput fellas....I'll no doubt need both fronts completely redone as the foam and leather is completely rotted away and the springs and hooks look pretty shot too! But, what the heck, do it right and spend the extra $$ to make it look right the first time I always say. Better off in the long run!! JL
