Best shop for upholstery?

How about sealing the inside of the cab prior to the Matt install(floors and fire wall) with Bed liner material of like, to seal out fumes if any that permeate from older cars.

I got the idea from Coupe King's site to reinforce and seam seal certain points in the cab then etch and Por 15. It's overkill but helps prevent against flex and rust, especially in the cavities. I would treat all the metal first before applying any type of bed liner. The inside of the doors and any place else water may get into that cannot be released quickly is a candidate for that application.

so i have an upholstery question as to which way is correct. at the top of the front seats, i have seen the corners done 2 different ways. in Mike's interior it looks like the side and the back have been adhered to the seat and the corner flap is folded over the top ... but in looking again, perhaps its more like the tan seat below. in a pic of Stevehose's original blue leather, it looks to be the opposite. in the cloth seat that i just took apart, the corner was tucked down first and the side and back finished the corner. then the beige seat is a hybrid, the side is put down first, then the corner ... and then the back. to me, since i know Steve's is original, and it matched the original cloth seat i took apart ... i'm guessing this is correct. so ... i am asking all people with original cars to tell us what is on your car ... and those in the know to verify.

I believe that the original way is to have a seam on the shoulder. No folding.
