Have you looked at Rod Doors or Mid Fifty offerings?
You would still have to cover or paint them yourself.

Sounds like a reasonable design...have you taken your drawing to a local upholstery shop?
This is not something that I would want done via mail order, need to sit down with the guy doing the work and get on the same page.

Checked mid fifties but that is not what I'm looking for. As to someone close that doesn't seem to be available, the closest is several hours away 2 to 3 most likely but it may come to that. Hoped someone had been down that road before and could have someone they had worked with. I'm guilty of watching the shows on TV and it doesn't look to bad to do but material, experience and equipment makes the difference..LOL

Here's my 2000 ford windstar seats with a console - seat from a taurus . The biggest problem is if you want your steering column , gauges and seat centered the seat placement doesn't leave much room in the middle .
