Call Walt Downs, he lives in Spotswood not too far from you.
He is a LBC nut and an uphosterer by hobby. Great prices too.
He does beautiful work. He has done all my cars since 1988.
Walt 251-3758. Unsure if of the area code with NJs new codes.(was 908)
Tell him I sent you. You will have to bring your seats to him, he works
in his basement. He needs about a week. He also does the new foam and
what ever the seat needs.
This guy even fabricated Bugeye seat pans for me from scratch!
