well i heard back from them and he said he can carve the seat and what not but not put on a brand new covering. just reinstall the original covering.
so that is only half the job. so i now need to find someone that could put a brand new hide on the seat. although i am suprised that if u could put the old covering on why not a new one? not like i am looking for some crazy stitching branding to it. Sigh.on the plus side i found the hide just have to order it on Friday :dance::dance:

A friend of mine really likes C and C Seats, and they do really good work, and don't seem overpriced. He has bought several over the years and has been very happy with them, and they look great.

did u even read this thread??? and as usual your ideal of custom and mine are not the same custom means making it just the way i want it not by mass producing a few patterns and saying its custom.
do ur seats look nice yes are they custom NO.
but then again u didnt read this thread you just saw custom seats and are pushing ur product.
i email you in the fallabout doing my seat the way i want and was told you dont do that work.

appearance and extreme durability i talked to 6 different seat makers over the winter and they all said if i was going to be loggin mile and not just useing it for show that would be about the best hide to use.
i figured since they all sadi the same thing it couldnt be just BS
but they also all were crazy in pricing to do it start to finish from 2000-3500k
which shoved it outta reach till i found out i could buy it dirrect and not pay the 100% mark up on if.

sweet, but i just got an answer the local guy. he will put on my hide for me for about $250. going to send it to Jersey 1st though since he will add the gel and foam to the seat to make it super comfy. hes the 1st i have come across that does both. plus he wraps it in a vaper barrier to keep moisture outta the foam. 153.00 for that plus shipping
