The upholstery shop estimates $1500 to reupholster seats, 72 Fury Coupe, Split front bench, rear standard bench. 2 month wait
Is $1500 a decent price or a rip off?
2018 pic. Cheap vinyl is wearing off color in places and turning gray tint. Springs sticking out side of seat. Batting/foam is not supportive.

Material and labor? Do it.
I get a great deal from my shop in Iowa, similar pricing on these

Provided they are using quality materials, that is a steal of a deal, maybe to good to be true.

The last time I bought from SMS was 14 years ago and the Pearl White vinyl for my New Yorker was $65 a yard. Ordered 10 yards and it was barely enough. Should have ordered 12.

That job cost me about what your quote is plus the above material. He supplied the new foam.

It was still cheaper than Legendary

If the material is correct and the work will be done to reproduce the factory pattern, with quality new foam, then this looks like a good deal.

PS: whoever does the work, tell them to look out for build sheets.
 
I'm paying $1000 for materials, bolstered upgrade for 68 Charger front seats. I'll install myself, and I still have to buy felt, hog rings, and fix the springs.
 
I got some prices just a few months ago. The first one told me about $4000. The rest of them were all around $2000 - $2400. None of them was using factory correct (SMS) material. The smooth fabric used in 68 doesn't seem to be available other than SMS. One quoted me $700 plus the cost of the material depending on what I picked. It all depends on what you want. The correct material from SMS for my car is like $160 a yard.

GREAT PRICE but you better look at some of their past work. You get what you pay for!
 
Mine is also non factory materials of course. Off white vinyl and black perforated suede. To me way better than OEM material but I know others wouldn't agree
