$669 for seat covers?!?! GAAAAWWWD D*MN. Is that in yen? Is the leather made from elephant hide and sewn together with pieces of thread from the queen of england's evening gown? Does it grant 50 horsepower through some means of black magic?

It's made from African Lion hide, that is softly coaxed off of them, using the coaxers voice alone......

The finished product will give you a massage while driving, and with the upgrade (for a mere 1000 bucks....) will also give you a hand job.

Yeah even for leather that seems high, I think I can just take my truck to an interior shop and have them make and install new covers for less.

Also it isn't like normal covers, they replace the cloth you have now and go over the foam, but yeah that price isn't right.

Oh, well in that case, it's a steal... might ought to spring for the lonely man/happy ending upgrade as well lol.

But seriously, that is outrageous. You could probably get it done at an upholstery shop for less that that (and then it would be attached).

At the time I was strapped for cash so I used my Toshiba Satellite Tablet which was touch screen. I did a whole walk-through when I first did it last September.
Here's the original post.

I think there are some measurements and a step by step kinda thing

looks really good, enjoyed checking out your blog as well. Nice pictures of New Orleans, and yes I thought the same thing the first time I saw the Alamo... I was surprised to see it facing a shopping area, with all the city stuff around it, but if you look at its history in the early 1900's they actually had businesses using it for storage and all.

That is the best looking custom made console I have ever seen! Good Job!

That will be a blueprint of what I want to build. Mine will have a B&M floor shifter where your CB is, 3 gauges (oil psi, trans temp, and vaccum), switches, and a box for storing crap where your computer is.

I reupholstered the headliner, arm rests, and used Iggee custom molded seat covers for the seats.

The center console shown below is now 3" lower, looks much better and is much more comfy.

Carpet and mats are next.

ramsport97 how hard was it to redo the arm rest in the door? I definatley want to redo mine I hate that stupid color they come stock. If you take the door panel off does that arm rest panel just pop off or whats the deal? Also is it a custom made center console? Is there enough room to tuck a sub in it somewhere cause im definatley looking at doing something like that for my truck.
