I just finished my 67 interior this morning (Happy Easter). It is a TMI kit that I bought through JBugs. Rear seat and front seat bottoms were a piece of cake. Front backs were a little more of a challenge (this was my first go at interior stuff...enjoyed it, fun job). I used the orig seat padding but added burlap to springs and 1" foam to stiffen up a bit. I also added some wire to the front seat bottoms to make a firmer seat. I'm very happy with they way they feel!! I would buy these again from JBugs. They have always been my favorite parts source.

If you have the money and want perfection call Lenny at West Coast Classic Restorations (WCCR). He and his boys do amazing work!

I just re-did my Westy with Sewfine. I'm very happy with the quality. Dealing with the staff there was great. It's so rare to come across good customer support these days.
