If you want a good quality job you need to find a skillful upholstery man and it doesn't matter if he works for himself or an upholstery shop, or if he works for a restoration shop - it's the man's skills that are important and not his employment circumstances. Work at a full time restoration shop would probably cost more than the same job at an upholstery shop as there will probably be more overhead to carry.

Others may have more current information; when I had the interior and top done on my 56 Caribbean in 1998 the cost for an very good (but not Pebble quality) interior including labor and materials was about $8000 and take into consideration the fact that the reversible seats on a 56 are considerably more complex and expensive to do than the relatively simple seats of the car in question. It was done by an old-time upholstery shop owned by a PAC member.
