    The guy gave me two quotes on those seats, well techinically they gave me three prices. Originally it was 200$ per seat plus 300$ for the back seat to make them in vinyl. I said I wanted leather so they said it would be 400$ per seat and 500$ for the back seat. He then attempted to add it up and came up with 1200$ total, which worked for me. This included them changing the plastic to black, and also all my foam was gone which they had to replace.

    Absolutely beautiful. I like to see the use of modern/updated materials but still retain the period look. Please keep usupdated on the rest of the car.

    They repop them for Stangs and Torinos.
    They may or may not be identical to Maverick parts... However if they are different, it wouldn't be enough for anyone to notice. Especially when they are looking at those purty, leather and cloth seats that NEVER came in a Maverick anyway.:thumbs2:

    Once you have deviated that far, a millimeter or two difference in the seat decoration wouldn't matter.;)

    Great Looking seats! Looking forward to seeing them and your car at a show. Maybe this Fall or at Silver Springs in Jan?

    Great job on your car.

    You might be amazed at what is repopped for Stangs/Torinos/Falcons that actually works in our cars...(y)

    Every now and again, you even get lucky and find parts that not only work, but are identical.
