Attn. Guys w/ a factory leather interior

[WaltM]

I can't find a cloth replacement interior so I'm going w/the leather deal through SVOCA.

I need to know if a factory leather car has anything else (door panels etc) that would need recovering.

Thanks

Just the seats were leather. The kit from E&G Classics comes w/everything you'll need to make it like factory.

Does anyone know how close it is to original? Is the fit and finish ok?

I doubt you could tell the difference. The quality of the E&G Classic seats are TOP SHELF. Far better than the original stuff Ford used. The company has been offering this deal to our members since we formed the club back in 1998.

Thanks for the endorsement. Very cool, and at a good price.

Thanks!

leather

the only way you could tell the e&g leather from the original would be to look at the original and the e&g side by side and very close up. the door panels used the same material as the inserts on the cloth cars. the cloth like the bolister and insert cloth is like the original leather in that is a ford proprietary item and ford has not allowed it to be reproduced. it is very hard to get if not now impossible. some time ago i bought 4 yards of the insert closth (which was all i could get) for 118.00 per yard. this is enough to do the seats in my comp car and the door panels in my leather car.

Fit and finish is perfect. My kit was installed a/b a year ago...it still looks great!

Did you install it yourself, or have it done by a shop?

Get a shop to do it. Will end up costing something like $100-150 (depending on you area). TRUST ME - it's worth the money not to snag your fingers with the hog rings. Plus - your seat's foam will need to have some 'extra' added to it after years of supporting 200lb+ butts. Just look up Trim Shops in your area.

Thanks, was wondering where the rear points were hooked up.
