Restoration on 89

[rjfguitar]

It was just one of those things that comes down to price. The fabric was $700 and the upholsterer even with the discount was $800. For $1500 bucks I wanted factory a perfect restore and I knew it could be done after seeing Tecks and my guy just couldn't do it. I was furthermore upset that I wasn't given my options (or explained his limitations) as he progressed through the job.

My truck isn't a 100% factory restore as I have upgraded things I felt that technology could improve. I think there are a lot better seat options out there (rjf's benz seats are a prime example, ryoken's is another) for less money.

eh, you know, going 100% stock restore is pretty darned cool, especially since it really does give a guy the "time capsule" feeling. With my K5, I felt like since I had the drivetrain far from stock, there wasn't a reason to stop at that point with a "restomod" type restore when it came to my interior. Without tooting my own horn too much, I'd say my seats and setup has some pretty good cool factor, but your K5 would probably be worth more money 20 years from now than mine, since yours is much closer to stock.
