Expy Console/seat conversion ?

What have your guys paid an upolstrey shop to convert the passanger seat? Not including any parts (already have), just the labor on altering seat.

No pics.
Heres how I did it.
Took the 60 split seat out.
Took the back rest off the seat.
Pulled off the cover from the seat.
Don't forget that there are staples holding down the material to pad so when pulling the cover off don't pull to hard. You can cut the staples with some snips.
When the pad is exposed you'll see that there is a indintation in the pad where a bucket seat would end.
Cut the pad along the indintation.
Cut the material so that it makes a good fit and stitch it up with a sewing machine or by hand. I had plenty of extra material left after I formed everything up.
Put the cover back on. Add staples to your seat where you removed them. The plastic pieces that hold your material under the seat will need to be trimmed but that can be done with scissors.
Bolt up the new frame for the seat.
And your good to go.

That should do it
