I'd also like to ask for recommendations of companies that supply seat covers?
Thanks

I supplied cloth to Autos International and they made covers for my 66 911. I'm sure Autobahn would do the same

Those look beautiful. Did you install them yourself? Any comments from you (or the installer) on how they fit?
If you are open to sharing the price here or by private message, please do.

I've been working with an older car/boat upholsterer for years. I strip the covers, prep and paint the bases, cut and install new burlap for the bottoms, take care of any work needed to the hinges and other hardware, and send him the four cushions. Fortunately for this set, the original horsehair/felt cushions were in good shape (low miles car and lightweight driver?). These are the third set of seats where I had the four covers pre-made and then installed locally. In all but one set, there was upholstery (sewing) work needed to get them to fit right, which any good upholsterer can do. In theory, any mechanically inclined person can install the covers -- you only need tacks and a staple gun - air works best. But you really need the years of experience in pushing and pulling, and making any needed alterations to get the fit just right.

Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.
