Check out the new look my buckets and back seats in my Duster. I took them all out and dropped them off a few weeks ago at ADI in Tulsa/Broken Arrow, OK. I also dropped off my "Buddy Seat" which is not completed yet. I am having it done a little different than stock. I am adding cup holders and phone/wallet holder in the front seat portion and leaving the arm rest alone. I also had "map pockets" added onto the backs of each bucket.

$650 cash for two front buckets and two back seats. He also recarpeted the rear of the fold down seat. Didnt have a picture of that.
Havent paid for buddy seat yet but should be around $50-$100.
 
- Looks good! I don't understand why more people don't opt for reupholstering. You get to choose the pattern, grain, and colors that you want. We even had emblems embroidered in ours. They totally rebuilt our back seat starting with a bare seat spring. We had modified it to clear our mini-tubs and started with a junk yard core. Our fronts were aftermarket seats that we had the R/T emblems added to. Our total cost was only around $350.

Very nice seats, nice combination of colors, I had a set of those stock white ones in my race Duster back in the 70's

Wow, that's a good price. I had to pay over $500 for just my front bench seat, and that did not include the vinyl fabric. I bought the vinyl from a company that specializes in OEM replacement. I went that route because the rest of the interior was in excellent shape, so I just matched the front bench to it.
 
NoI have not picked up Buddy Seat. I went by about three times and it still wasnt done.
I had also dropped off the rest of my rear fold down seat pieces to be carpeted to match.
Still waiting:violent1:
 
Very nice. I like the black/white contrast over the solid white. tmm

The lady that did our upholstery works out of the family's garage that she's converted into her shop. They live out in the country and are real nice folk. Originally we didn't like the way the seams lined up and she re-did them for no extra charge even though part of what we didn't like was exactly what we'd asked for. LYNN'S UPHOLSTERY, Abie, Nebraska. There are probably better upholstery shops out there but these people are honest, nice, hard working. etc...

I can tell you where not to take mopar seats, sorriest professional job I`ve ever seen! (hint-it`s on 11th st. in tulsa!) I`ve already knocked them out of 3 re-upholster jobs, and will continue to do so. course their probably busy w/ the chebby stuff anyway!
 
looks great and fair price or even bargain!! I've always bought the original lengendary stuff years back,. I had good upholstery guy put them on, fix springs etc. not there now. I found good shop like what you found I will use soon as $$$ flows in!!! I found a another shop that had been smoking too much ???? before he figured a price!! LOL
seems like the older the car the more legendary charges!????????
 
Finally got the Buddy Seat back and the rear fold down sections. All done!

Todd,
Looks Great! I like the black along the seams. So who got to try it out first Mrs. Or the kiddos?

That is eye opening! The seat covers and foam I bought cost more than that (Front and back covers +foam for the front) and I have to put it all together!!
