Picked up a seat recently for my 70 challenger. Well a passenger seat and the lower half of the drivers side seat. Parts are getting harder to find. Brought it home and stripped it to the frame  Found a hotel that mice had built many years ago. Had a  buddy of mine sandblast the frames and I painted them the other day. I bought some new material and tools and had some fun .I'm hoping to be able to reuse the foam. Now I just need to find half a bucket seat. Where is the best place to get seat covers in Ontario Thanks

I did my seats about a year ago. I had to replace several of the springs though. Very rusty. I ended up buying from Legendary and I'm very happy with the whole process. I bought the foam, covers, hog rings (buy way more than you think you need, I had to buy some off a local upholstery shop). It was tuff work putting them on, but if you leverage it just right it's not so bad. My only major complaint is I used some super strength 3m glue (I think the black can) for the foam. The problem is that it dries VERY hard. In a few places you can kinda feel it under the cover. So use a different glue or just be real careful and maybe trim it before you slip the covers on.

As far as the covers, I think they look fine. I only have this one right now, but I could take more photos if your interested.

I hope mine turn out that nice

Do you want the best quality covers, or the best deal on covers ?

National Moparts in Beaverton ON will sell you Legendary Interior covers, but you can buy them yourself and have them shipped up here or to an US address.

NOS Reproductions in Komoka ON will sell your PUI covers

PG Classics in Ottawa ON will sell you their covers....

Only buy Legendary unless you are never going to sit in the car. Even then, only buy Legendary.

Ok thanks, every one it seems like legendary it is. Got a price of $670 plus tax and shipping from National moparts, I think I might try directly from the states.  Now i just need to find half another seat to complete the one i have

Keep in mind the US dollar is at about $1.32 right now when using a credit card. :pullinghair:
