    Hey everyone,
    I can't take anymore of the seat cover falling off and the spring sticking in my back, its starting to draw blood. can anyone direct me toward a good place to get some new skins? I've been looking but it seems difficult to find replacement uph for this thing. I would really like to put back in the stock seat upholstery because everything else is in pretty good condition.

    Oh its a 1955 Buick Special with a Red/Black/Grey interior.

    Good experiences? Bad? what are my options? My guess is it won't be cheap, so I want to find a good product. Or if anyone knows a good SF/Oakland upholstery shop I might consider that. Any help would be appreciated!

    I recently had some re-upholstered... the shop took the old tattered ones off for a pattern, and re-sewed new material to match. We changed color a little bit, well... a lot... but they fit back on the original frames/springs like gloves. The upholsterer even added another layer of "stuffing" for a little cushier feel.

    Try that
