Im getting my seats redone on my 69 nova. I was going to do all black, but Im kinda thinking of doing dark grey tweed inserts too. Any ideas or pictures would be great. Thanks

What color is the car painted?
Any pin strip's,if so what color?

What I do on alot of car's when I get told to do what I want color wise is pull the color's from the body to the interior.But I try to go either a shade darker or a shade lighter.I will post pic's of a set of bucket seat's out of a 79 Cutlass that I am finishing up,the car is silver with black strip's and I did the seat's with black vinyl skirting and a silver cloth with black lines .

yes post pics. mine is a red 69 with black stripes. I think the front buckets are out of a 71 camaro because they are highback.

Hey Junior, not to get the thread sidetracked but can ya give me a rough estimate on what custom carpeting would generally run for say a '64 2 dr sedan w/ no rear seat, carpeting would cover the seat divider area and the rear package tray... also what could i expect price wise for a '65 wagon carpet, bucket seats front & rear ???

i know i'm not in your area but it'd give me an idea of costs.


Thanks for the help ;)

Here is a set of seat's that I did out of red and black,they are out of a 3000 GT and went into a 66 Nova.I did them with a red french seam on the black,and black stitch on the red inserts.

The last one I did that ran from firewall to package tray was $375.00,and as for the wagon I would charge right around the same($375).

I agree with the two tone idea. I did that in my other car and love it.
Here's a pic.

anyone have any pics of two tone in a nova?

These pictures are of a set of Sunfire seats that are in a 65 that is supposed to be in my shop in a couple of weeks.

And these are from the Cutlass I was telling you about with the 2 tone interior,they have not been cleaned up or steamed in these pictures.
