Plumbinguy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hey Guys, hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Holiday season. I'm in need of a small amount of ginger leather to reupholstery my armrest. Anybody have any scrap by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Does185 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I redid my ginger armrest last summer and have a bit of leftover leather. How much do you need? My car is in storage and the material is in the trunk, but I can swing by this weekend and measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbinguy Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Well, I imagine I would need as much as you did. I very much appreciate your response. You could check it out at your leisure, No need to go out of your way. Thanx again! I of course wouldn't object to purchasing a seat panel from the back of a retired car. No options here in the northeast. All these cars are out west. Quite a few made it to the mid west, none around here. Except mine, and think there's one in Long island.

pesd Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Plumbinguy, where are you? I'm in Connecticut, I have a quote to repair/ reupholster my drivers side seat from a local shop ($400) I think I'm going to pull the trigger in the spring.

Plumbinguy Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Really! I'm in Southeast Connecticut, Norwich. Now-a-days I'm a craps dealer @ Mohegan Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbinguy Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Fortunately my seats are pretty good, but I'll need someone to do the armrest. Some professional cleaning and conditioning would be nice. So I'd be real interested in degree of satisfaction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesd Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Maybe I'll take a drive to Norwich in the spring and say Hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does185 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Plumbing guy, sorry I thought I had a full seat back left, but my upholsterer used probably 1-1/2 seat backs for the armrest so I only have about 1/2 of one seat back left. Not sure how much he wasted, but he wanted to get the rolling seams and stitching as close to original so didn't skimp. I'd suggest you buy both seat backs from a parted out TC to make sure you have enough if you are doing the pillowed seams versus just smooth. - Rob Edited January 26, 2021 by Does185 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
