Hi, no i would like to find a good outfit for quality leather and products. I am staying with original seat style from 1979. I have had difficulty with some after market companies. Thank you!
Can't help you with anyone in Ontario I'm in Alberta but have used a few here that have done really great work over the years with some of my other cars. Let me know if that is of interest.
I used Degreeve Auto in Calgary on a 66 mustang and was very happy as they kept the seats looking original and all I gave them was the metal and springs they did all the foam work and the leather was perfect. I also used Trim-Pro in Calgary on my 66 cobra roadster and it turned out great, they did all of the interior including transmission tunnel door panels and dash.

The best is AL KNOCH INTERIORS.
I recently ordered/received my set of vinyl covers and seat foam for my ‘75 Coupe.
They have always been considered the most accurate but other suppliers have come along of late.
I’m going to do what most Vette owners do… I’m going to attempt the install myself and then give-up and take a half-done job to local expert! LOL
good luck.

I bought the set of vinyl covers and foam from Al Knoch. The covers wer very nice but the foam was terrible. Ended up selling them (half of what I paid for them) and buying from Zip Corvette. I did all the frame prep and install myself using the hog ring and hog ring pliers. They turned out fantastic. I had never done this before. You have to be patient and take your time. U Tube is your friend, as is Google. Use baby powder on the foam to help pull the covers on. I would do it again.
Yes Sir Al Knoch does excellent interiors.
I pre-arranged for his company to recover the leather seats on my 1993 while I attended Corvette Carlisle.
My best recollection is that his team completed the job in a couple of hours and I couldn't have been happier with the result.
