Where are you located? Do you have the seats and just want them recovered? I have a guy in Miami that would make them from scratch but he would want something to copy from. He can copy mine if you are down here.

Balsa fails

the balsa in the structural part of the seat and the other wood is rotted, so it's a lot more than just covering.

Seats

I'm in Connecticut so it's probably too long a commute.

A good local fiberglass shop can restore them as new. I believe all it is a fiberglass shell wrapped with flexible balsa and matting. I had to rebuild the bolsters in my 89 Bullet a long while back. Easy but time consuming.
