Topic: 70 Standard Upholstery

[bgp429]

Need to replace the front seat upholstery. There are huge price differences from $430 to over $1100.

Do I need the foam with or without listing wires? That's another $100 per seat from TMI.

NPD has TMI cost is about $650 pr. foam from American cushion is $220 ea, Dashes Direct foam $105 ea.

Classic Industries has Distinctive brand covers at $270. OER foam is $160pr. cheapest

Went directly to TMI about the same price shipped as NPD. Foam is either $137 or $231 with wires.

Assume TMI is higher quality as well as the foam. This is for a driver quality Boss 302. Anyone have input on the quality?

That expense depends on your goal. For a daily driver you want durability. For judging you want quality. I usually went for the quality.
The price differences seem to be for different styles, standard vs deluxe. Do a review of what and where you got prices.

I reupholstered well over a dozen sets (I use my grandfather's 100 year old plus upholstery tools). I found out the hard way. Replace the foam. The wires usually rust away, so think about getting another Ford seat to use for "parts".
To be truthful, I would order from NPD.

A lot (yes, it is two words) of the techniques are documented in the "1970 Mustang Interior Assembly Manual" (AM0032).

Both prices for standard seats. If I need to spend $1100 that's fine. Just don't want to unless necessary. 

Was going to replace the foam. Prices are all over the place on that too. Only vendor with an option for the listing wires was TMI.
