Hi Lennie

Can you tell me more about this seat. It looks like the padding and material is from TMI Products.

Hi Marty, the seats were fiero and we cut the headrest off. I scored on 11 darker red italian calf hides we are covering the interior in. My father inlaw who turns 80 this year was an upholsterer by profession refoamed the seats himself and then covered them w/the leather.

The seats look amazing in that dark red, be sure to tell your father in law he hit a home run right there!!!!

Very nice car!

those seats look great and really comfortable.

I was thinking to doing something similar. the seats in my 97 Trans Am are amazing, and I have driven thousands of miles in them at a time. So I was thinking to get a set somewhere (ebay or junkyard) and getting them reupholstered to look like the original deluxe interior seats (comfortweave inserts)

I have seen pictures of guys doing it with early 4th gen Camaro seats to make them look like the standard 1st gen firebird seats

TMI Products make a sport seat version and I am looking at those for ease a very little cost.

those look quite a bit like the original Camaro/standard Firebird seats. Nice.

This is what my deluxe seats look like

Here's the door panel game plan, trying to keep the look a little nasty so decided to go for an industrial look and show the hardware.





So far....
