Wink GN reproduction seat covers, cloth and leather!

Guys, I am working with my buddy in Oshawa who specializes in custom interiors for hot rods etc. We have taken the covers off a set of original seats I had for a patern and he is going to reproduce OEM quality seat covers for our Buicks! He has sourced the OEM material and proper colour for our cars, also has drafted the power six emblem to match perfect.

We are doing cloth sets for now, but I am going to do up a set of leathers for my GN this winter for that trick look! As for prices, we will be doing them reasonable to start, but don't have exact price yet. To be determined.....

Just curious what the interest level is out there? It will be nice to have a Canadian source for these, it will be much cheaper for us all. I will keep you all posted. Pics coming soon!

Brad, sounds great. thumb_up I could use a set of grey for the T-Type and I'm sure at some point the GN's will need to be freshened up.

Keep us posted. canada

Thumbs up

We almost ready to go boys....taken a little longer than we thought to get everytingall set up and to get the material samples in to verify quality. We should have the first set done next week and ready to go.

As for the seat foam, Jason is a master at beefing up the old foam, he has an old trimmers trick that works great to stiffen them back up.

Stay tuned, lots of Buick interior stuff coming your way soon guys!

The company name in going to be called "Trimtech" and will be located in Oshawa, Ontario. Simcoe Street North for anyone familiar with the area. Pics to come soon.

Thanks for the patience
