upholstery kits

I'm wondering if you guys can drop some names to me for upholstery suppliers for my black seats in my 63 500XL fastback.
I've got a Macs and Ecklers catalog and Concours Parts, but don't know about the quality and fit of their covers. I need to do both buckets and the rear. They are both still in pretty good condition for being original, but the top of the back seat is sun baked and starting to crack. When I took the front buckets out I found out how rotten the seat foam was so that's some more expense.  Let me know who you guys order from.   Thanks,  Bud

Labaron Bonney and SMS. Both expensive but great quality. Redoing my Starliner with covers from Labaron Bonney.

Re: upholstery kits

My seats will last a few more years, but are getting brittle, and the foam is gone. There is a nice crescent shaped area for your butt, BUT no real cushion to speak of. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: upholstery kits

I try to explain how to attach 63 bucket seat emblems here:   http://galaxieforum.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=831

I used eklers.  Macs is the same.  they came out good.  There foam was good too.  Go easy on the corners ...you can see where they started to split with too much pressure.
