bench seat cutting

im thinking about going to the expy console (if i can ever find one). How much did it cost you guys to get your stock bench seat cut off to make it a bucket seat? just trying to get some pricing down...

I used an expedition seat frame and completely disassembled the seat myself. Then I took the seat bottom to a small upholestry shop and the guy cut down teh cushion/material in about an hour for 40 bucks.

I am gonna get the expy frame thats electric and try to make the passenger side electric too. I think all i will need to do is cut the wiring out of the expy and i wil be good to go but i will find out more and let you guys know.
