Please Help Me - Posting for my 70 year old grandfather

-
I've said before, I'm not at all impressed by legendary and have noticed lately that many people I talk to about their nice stuff say that just had them done by reputable local shops.

Best answer is to have a good local upholstery shop make them. The kind you buy ready-made, from whatever vendor, is just never going to be as good in terms of quality, fit, durability, etc. Especially not since the market is dominated by Chinese con artists (and American con artists, too).

Read this and this about how real/good auto upholstery work is negotiated and done.

For decades Legendary Auto Upholstery seems the best quality, with fewest complaints, from my personal use in 4 vehicles, all Darts, and being able to compare another, cheaper manufacturer, side by side, - and the quality difference was night and day. The cheaper manufacturer "stitching " was terrible, and after a summer of summer-heat the driver "seat" was badly sagged/stretched by my 160 lb son.
There are lots a similar posts here, a quick search may get you pinpoint results.
Good Luck.
P.S . .the wait time is long, so order early, very early, the wait will be worth the quality .
They also often sales, Xmas usually being 20/25%ish.

I bought a set for my 64. They were perfect
 
Complete Legendary Deluxe interior with Rallye seat option.

Fantastic quality , fit and attention to factory details.

This interior is 6 years old with almost 9000miles and still looks like this.

I have bought legendary since the 80's. Can't beat them, but 1 year still wait time?? Grandma was slow but she was 105 years old!!!!

IF you want a local shop make them, be sure to see a sample of vinyl first for color and grain!

Thank you all for your time and your help.

Legendary Auto Upholstery. Where else?
 
Ordered the back seat vinyl for my 72 Duster from Legendary yesterday because they had the best price on it than anyone else and they piled on a "20% OFF MANUFACTURED ITEMS" discount which made it not only quite reasonable, but I shouldn't be waiting 4-6 months for it either as I'm assuming someone canceled an order.
 
Buying the covers from Legendary is one thing, but I would have a local shop install the covers correctly. Maybe install new padding as well. If you have a local shop do all the work (I did 35 year ago) be sure you have the old covers for a pattern and material match. My shop did a great job, but I did buy the material from Legendary. Supposably, the original material from 69'.
