This is all good info. Thanks C body people!
Regarding 68 Chrysler seats.... I haven't had that much good luck.
Legendary has something close, with 8 month lead time, but I have to re-use the little emblem...
PUI - no dice
Mopar Plus - no dice
Is there anyone else out there?
Or is the custom route the only other option.....
Thanks,
Mike

I think you'll find for most of the seatcover offerings require that any emblems, etc, will need to be reused.
I've done some custom upholstery work (console-type things that can be wrapped in vinyl that is glued/stapled) but never any seats.
I think seats will be like some things in life - you won't know until afterward whether you should've hired a pro to install your covers or whether to attempt yourself.
Sometimes the pro has the advantage of skill and experience, but lacks pride and must make profit, while the amateur has the pride and time but lacks the skill.
So you just don't know until afterward which way to go.
But IMO, an 8-month LT from Legendary will be worth the wait vs having someone 'recreate' factory seatcovers.
For the majority of the C- bodies you need to go custom, or learn a new skill like I did. There seemed to be a few bucket seat covers for C's but seem to only be one pattern.
I had bench seats and after a $4,000 quote from a busy upholstery guy I ended up doin them myself.
Epic 68 Polara bench seat rebuild for originality
I went the extreme route and tried to re- create them exactly like the factory. Half of my time was finding creative ways to re-construct the way the factory did.

Awesome thread there, I read the 1st page or so, and skipped to the end. I'm sure the middle will be just as impressive!
