Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe - Page 54

I've been doing my seats myself for the '68 with Legendary covers, foam from them (it's really ACI brand), using an installation kit from www.seat-guy.com. Ben is an Olds guy (though he just sold his '66) and is great to work with.

Ames Performance makes the correct molded seat chrome for the edge of the seat plastic too. I got an order of some new screws, seat chrome trim, seat bumpers, and it added up to $240. Stuff came in and is nice, but it's always the tiny stuff that kills your budget.

The good part is that '69-72 seat backs are all the same, not terribly hard to find (and interchangeable side to side)... you can restore with SEM landau black.

I found the W-31 decals. pm me your address and I'll send them. They're probably only good as tool box decals at this point though due to being 46 years old.

Thanks John, and Thanks Dan.

These will be a welcome addition to my W-31 Binder.

So far Legendary looks like the interior vendor of choice:-)

I am not a patient guy:-(

I ordered some vinyl and cloth material along with a foam backed hedliner material for a '77 blazer I picked up. First I waited for the samples. Then tried to get someone on the phone to order. Then weeks go by and I called to say, send what you have. Weeks later again I am waiting for the headliner material to be foam backed and the "door panel" guy does that supposedly. I don't mind the wait if I knew in advance. Lack of communication is what fires up the nerves. legendary is usually good, just have to wait the normal 4-6 weeks on things they need to make up. Good luck.
