Being a young scrapy rover owner I can tell you that the palpable aprehension felt in the previous responses in this thread comes with a lot of wisdom. Why would such an eclectic group of individuals suggest that you spend your money elsewhere? A conspiracy? Common sense? Collective wisdom and experience. I am young enough to recognize a suggestion, and old enough to listen. The hoarder of elephant hide thinks that his upholstery restorations are worth more than the original price of the vehicles. Of course you can give him your money but the price will always be more than you originally agreed to. That is my experience and I have the paperwork to back me up. I'm not trying to make waves, I'm simply sharing my experience. There are many better options. You may find that someone has a few good seats lying around for a good price. Just my 2 cents.
    I think you make a good point. The more I have read and the more I reflect on the conversation, the more I think I will keep looking for alternatives!
    I understand that there are folks out there that have more money than they do sense, but that doesn't include me.
    This guy seems to find them, cause he was telling me that he was working on a $80K and growing restoration on a 109. I jokingly said me must be building that for Jay Leno (he didn't laugh!).

    Thanks for the feedback.

      Good call. You'll be better off without the aggravation. Everyone here has been pretty polite but there are enough horror stories out there about Kellog to make your hair curl.
