What type of foam do you guys use for seats?

Also, what type and brand of thread do you use?

Glue.. Brand and cost for complete car inside?

How much foam and thread will I need to completely recover a stock 68 camaro interior(double stitched seats)? Im recovering all the door panels, seats, dash pad, and rear package tray. Thanks!!

Is there a website I can buy/price this stuff on? Thanks

If you're keeping the stock buckets, the best foams are made by American Cushion Industries, roughly $90/seat and will provide the best foundation for stock style or improved custom covers. Results aren't as nice with any others.


My upholster, Shawn Katt, could likely help you determine glue quantities, topper foams to do the rear seats, burlap to tie the spring cages, etc.......
