    Im' in the same boat and i've been seriously lookin at the EZ Boy interiors. they look great, lots of styles to choose from and seem to be not bad in price. i think there's someone from that company on here too.

  7. Ok guys here's what I've done a few times. If you go to J.C.Whitney they sell complete kits for any year, make, or model car in pleated (looks like tuck and roll) vinyl. You can get it in a few colors and it's easy to install, probably 3/4 of a day your first time. They really look killer. And the cool part is they dont cost much compared to having a shop making you upholstey kits or re-doing the seats.

    I bought my NOS seatcovers here from chevsotolac. $75. He seemed to have a bunch of stuff, but this was 8 months ago.

    I'm in the same boat. My '56 has 50s era seat covers over the original upholstery. The drivers side is shot while the rest of them look good.
    I'd like to find something close to match what I have or just replace them all until I do interior(at the bottom of the list right now).

    I didn't have much luck finding anything online, and I don't evil-bay...
