Seat Covering Help...

Well - I got the seats and the covers down to the local upholstry guy... labor is $40 per hour and he thinks it may take about 4-5 hours to finish them. When I showed him the tear he simply relayed that even with all of his "secret" knowledge he still tears some from time to time - but he assured me when he's done that I wont even notice. I asked around and everyone whom I asked quoted that the guy does good work. The best comment on his work was from the local auto resto shop (does mostly Mustangs...) who was all gald to do them for me at the rate of $58 per hour. So I figured that I would save about $18 per hour and go with the upholstry shop. Will post a photo of the seats when they are done...
Thanks for all the advice
