Default Need pictures of seats and interior....

I'm in the process of lining up an interior shop and I need some good clear pictures of the seats from either Kirkham or ERA, they seem to be about the most accurate reproduction seats I've seen. Very clear shots showing the detail along the top and sides of the seats would be great. Also some pictures of the leather roll around the door openings, along the tunnel, and how the carpetning is trimmed around the dash support tubes. Lastly, door panels. I've got the dash pretty well sorted out so I don;t need that. It seems that Kirkham and ERA have the interior about as close to authentic as they come, so pics from those cars would be great, unless someone has pics of an original. Thanks, everyone.

since you believe the ERA and Kirkham seats are what ya want, why duplicate them when you can most likely just buy two from either builder - complete and already to bolt in? or CSX for that matter ?
seems easier than reinventing the wheel , er, seat .

if they wont sell them to you, then that is another story. Bill

I've got the same steel frame seats, they just need to be redone. A well respected local shop will redo the seats fir about $800, ERA refused to sell to me, Kirkham gets $1600. I wouldn't know who to call at CSX.

You're welcome. Here's a shot of the ERA frame and bladder that I took whilst visiting with them.

767Jockey,
After an hour of trying to get the photos down to size, I gave up and posted some shots of my original seats in my gallery. They were taken out of the car so you can get an idea of trimming at the bottom and sides. Hope this helps, I would shoot the door panels and floor but the car is in another state right now.
