    Anyone recommend a upholsterer around Springfield Mo.?
    I want to cover my 56 F100 seat in leather and it will need to be rebuilt with a foam base, no springs. What can I expect to pay for good work?

    I would think you could look in the yellow pages and find a automotive upholsterer in your area,,I can tell you be prepared to spend some money,,leather ain't cheap. HRP

    Willy,
    Check with Show-Me F-100s in your area (they are on the net)
    They cover Springfield to Branson to N. Arkansas.
    Someone in their group should be able to help.
    They have a F-100 run in Branson next weekend July 12-14, 2013.
    You could take in the show and maybe get your ?s answered.
    Doc

    Hit the car shows, ask around who they would use, and who they would not

    Thanks everyone. As luck would have it I found one at the Steak and Shake today. He is a retired upholsterer and I looked at 3 or 4 of the cars he has done. Nice work and in the price range I was expecting it to be. He gave me some pointers on different materials like leather to think about.
