They do whole seats too. When my son rebuilt a '69 Camaro for Hot Rod Magazine, they embroidered the Chevy Bowtie across the entire white leather, rear seat.

When or if anyone sends me something to get an estimate with, all I ask is if they do it for you is that you send the $$$ to me with enough to cover the embroidery and return shipping. I don't want anything in return for my time but a pic of the emrboidery when it's back in your vehicle.

Man! The custom work you guys are posting is making me want to do the seats in my Monte.

Question for either of you guys...

I was thinking of doing my seats two tone in black leather with red trim. Kinda like the black and grey seats in the pace cars and Jeff Gordon edition Montes. No embroidery.

How long do you think it would take to get just the driver's seat done?

With the Monte being my only car, I can go without the passenger seat and back seat for a while. I can still drive the car with them out of the car. But if I asked them to do the driver's seat separately, how long do you think I would be without a driver's seat?

The headrests would not be touched for obvious reasons. Yes, I realize the charcoal headrests would not be the same color as the black leather seats. But my factory headrests are off limits. I may consider getting a set of blank headrests that I can redo later.

The same as in the Black or Red Pacecars??

I've been eyeing up to find a pacecar being parted out / getting that done myself

Yeah, kinda like the red 2000 Pace Car. But only have the red in the center of the seating area. Not going all the way to the front edge of the seat like the factory did.

As far as I know, Joe at JPM still has a fairly large piece of Ferrari Red Italian leather left from my project.

BTW, I have an extra ebony leather drivers seat for sale CHEAP. I'd meet you half way I was planning on keeping the headrest, but that can go too. No heat, but w/air bag.

Just curious, but how much was it to get that done (the seats)?

Thanks Wayne, but it's looking like I'm gonna have to wait before I can get this done. Something about paying bills being more important seems to put a crimp in making the Monte look good.

Something to put on my ever-growing wish list.
