over hear in Ohio, we got these people called the Amish, I send a boat or car over there, (cant call them, no phones oh yeah no sundays either their at church) and they do beautiful upholstery work and they are a third of the price, but they are wising up on the $$$$$$$. man when you go down there its like turning off the clock.
it is really an experience if you have ever dealt with the amish |

I believe I've read that you can order new skins from your CC Dealer. If so... I think that would be your best bet if you are looking to keep it "original".
My wife and I bought a heavy duty sewing machine off eBay and taught ourselves when we bought our 86 Eliminator. Vinyl is cheap... but the foam is kinda pricey. It was a fun project, and turned out rather well. For what it's worth... Joe |

As my ski season comes to a close I am contemplating re-upholstering my 95 interior (or having someone do it). Carpet looks worn too.
I've seen som ratty looking amatuer jobs, and some cheesy looking pro jobs complete with diamond tuck vinyl. Not all my vinyl is trashed. The back seats are cracked, and all of the top surfaces are thin and brittle. Some have mildew stains I can't get out. Suggestions?
