    I purchased some bobcat taillights from fred a month ago , drove out to his shop and talked for at least an hour. Fred does great work . the best hot rod guys around go to him . I would not hesitate giving this man my seats or my money. he's into old econoline vans too. .....Ron

    The front covers are $300.00 in black Corinthian/Ruffno, complete set is $500.00. I can do other colors but due to the varying cost of the vinyls the prices are different. All of the original colors are available.

    They look nice. Do you also carry something for the sprint. i have a stock rear seat, but am planning on using 71 Grabber high back bucket seats up front?
