I finally got the last piece for my 71 cuda a couple weeks ago. I ordered a whole interior from them and it took around 9 months to get it all. Good thing I planned ahead and ordered it long before I needed it.
Anybody receive seat covers from Legendary or Classic Industries lately?

Working on my custom car parts again!
2 years waiting for my 70 challenger, then I got a part time job at a trim shop and made mine for the wife's 66 dart. (8 weeks total for this rookie to sew then up)
Christmas is coming! After waiting for 13 months Classic Industries is shipping my Legendary seat covers (as well as a pile of other parts held on the order). I had a horrible feeling when I was on the phone with them today as I thought for a moment that I ordered a single cover and not a pair

I just ordered door panels, carpet, floor mats from Legendary. Their web site had wat times listed for all of those items. Like it said 30 days wait for carpet, 35 days wait for floor mats, 90 days wait for door panels or something along those lines. I am not expecting that stuff to come any time soon probably come later then their web site says my guess.
I saw what were probably chinese made door panels online, said in stock, image looked correct, but yeah I will pass and wait for the Legendary stuff to come.

Hold back on your carpet and just order from ACC. they are pretty much the only player left that makes a "close to almost fitting carpet set. (specially for Loop style carpet. on earlier A's) same with the floor mats, if you want carpeted with logo's. it's where legendary gets the floor mats from anyways. Door panels and seats are a legendays "prime part" and they do make them. BUT inspect the welting as soon as you get them, since they can (and do mess up there in the correct sizing, sewing them in and colors) have problems we used to order all our carpeting material form ACC until covid hit, then they quit selling yardage and we now go right to Dorset Industries and buy in bulk.
@Moparone why the red X?
Have you been to the Newark facility lately or were you at the Macedon shop with Marty and Ron?

Oops. I was just looking at the thread and didn’t realize I hit the X. Must have happened while I was scrolling. I’ve always had good luck with legendary.

I work at a trim shop doing custom leather interiors for slab sided lincolns (nope not a sewer) it takes a special kind of seamstress /seamster to do a good job on the seats. #1- you have to be semi familiar with the seats setup. #2- sew a straight line for over 9 inches guide free and fast (90% can't get past that , me either) and be able to sew welt without overunning it and putting needle holes in the welt. it's a labor intensive skill and those per part sewers of dresses and sweatshop sewers are pretty much the best at fast and accurate work. mostly in California and Mexico not too prevalent in Newark

I bet there where old time employees at Legendary that retired when the Covid BS hit. Then the gov ment paid people to just stay home and the economy still shows the effects of it all. Not saying this to talk politics but our economy will still show the effects of Covid for more years to come.
That's it in a nutshell. The shutdown stopped production, but didn't stop orders from coming in. The workforce only partially returned. It's in a rural area of the rust belt. The skilled labor just isn't there. Most of their previous workforce acquired their skills on the job over time. Between the backlog of orders and lack of labor, they've been working behind for three years.
I agree totally..... BUT TEXAS buses thousands of illegal immigrants to NYC every month. But we get 275,000 to 350,000 every month! We are overloaded. Ya would think there would be some people in that bunch that could sew and run scissors and make some $$$$???/!!!!
Newark, NY is a small town with no extra housing for "asylum seekers." It's also not a sanctuary city or in a sanctuary county. There's no welcome mat out. I also wonder if Legendary doesn't want to invest a lot of time and money in employees that will bolt as soon as a better free stuff situation comes along.I agree totally.....

Several months ago, when the busses started arriving in NYC, a fellow I know who is the business manager of the county two west of Newark's was interviewed on TV. In response to the Govt's request to take these people he said that it's a small rural county with no extra housing.
Ordered mine in October, they said sometime in August
I heard they are worth the wait
