Does anyone know of any upholstery places around the Los Angeles area? I know there is a few out in Corona but I would like to keep it closer to home. I have an 18ft. Southwind and need the entire interior to be redesigned, including the wood. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My friend just had his interior reupholstered and got a pretty good deal(I think he said $900). Everywhere I have seen has been about 2G's. I will get the number from him tonight and post it.

Whiteboy,
Let me know what you find out. I also have an 18' Southwind and need interior. Let me about your old interior too.

PipeClean,
my old interior has the back-to-back seats...not my favorite configuration. Besides my 3 dogs got to three of the seat cushions and sort of chewed them up! I'm looking to go with two buckets in the front and a wrap around back seat

I'm located in Canada (Toronto area) so I'm not sure posting my phone will do any good. I'm an advanced composite mold and pattern maker by trade and I work out of my family's marine refinish and repair shop on the side doing complete ground up restorations of jets,flats and hydro's on the side. As far as the seats and scoops go I hardly make anything on them but like helping people out as I know how hard it can be to find quality stuff for rides like ours .I send seats and scoops all over Canada and the US.It sounds like you know Bob(058) and I think he will endorse everything went well.Any how here is my phone anyways 519-681-5708 and I would appreciate a plug on the site. Thanks for your time and interest.

Has anyone built there own seats? I want to ditch the rear seat and build a wrap around, but need some help on laying out the frame.
