    I have a set of grabber buckets but they will need to be reupholstered. I was wondering if anyone had an idea on about what it would cost

    Contact Fred (fmc56) here on the forum. He has some patterns to make the covers.

    You will probably be looking at between $300-$500.

    I just dropped off my mustang 66 buckets to get reupholstered and new foam put in. He's charging me $350 for vinyl.

    Fred Carello (fmc56) makes seat upholstery for the mavs.Quality stuff too.350.00 for the upholstery.If you need new seat foam you will probably spend another 150 to 200.Then it all has to be put together.

    these are 66 mustang seats, he said it'll take him 2 days to get it done. I paid $175 to a guy locally.

    I have seen pics of Fred Carello's (fmc56) upholstery work installed on a set of '71-'72 Maverick buckets.
    They look fantastic. They will cost more than the price quoted by someone above, but they seem to be spot on original.

    I spent $500 on mine having front and rear custom made to original 6 yrs. ago. I wish
    that I had known about Fred's work. I am happy with mine, but there are some details that I believe he wouldn't have overlooked. It's worth it to me.
    Here's the pic:
