1966 dart bench seat cover rant......

in visiting local to me upholstery shop, front and back seats, (56 chevy wagon) orig was ok, just worn,
quoted 1500 2000, plus door panels,
then 6 mos later, nothing done, I check in every 3-4 weeks,
then he tells me plus foam, and etc,etc,
said closer to 2500 -3000.
so I picked up my stuff, and left,
maybe I'll learn upholstery?
