New Al Knochs arrived!

[Corvette95]

New sport seats for the 90 arrived from AL Knoch, look great, came fully assembled. New bladders, switched, bezels, lines etc. I have not installed them yet. I am hoping the air pumps work as I rebuilt them before sending. Sport seats were no cheap, over $2000 invested in them at this point with shipping and return shipping, foam, bladders, etc. Could not find a competent local installer so being sport seats, had the send it ALL to Al Knoch. I am at a stopping point as my painter is stringing me along. I need to find a north Alabama custom painter to spray it. It is fully prepped and ready to spray including 2k Primer and sealer. If anyone knows someone near Decatur, Huntsville please pass along their information. I am waiting to post pics when it is all completed.

WELL WORTH THE COST!!!!
There will be no need to ever do them again, so enjoy the quality and the completeness!
Most upholstery shops have a very tough time with sport seats.
You would not have saved much going to any of the big suppliers and buying leather on foam.

Agreed but the sport seats for a 90 were not available to buy on foam, likely due to the separate bolsters. Costs me $500 plus to ship the entire seats with tracks and all to them, but they look great!!! I have used them at least three times before but always tried to catch them a local NCRS regional event. They install on site with appointment. Save the shipping!

Guys, if you have been following the Plethora of questions from me over the past 6 months (Jerry at Jerry's Gaskets probably hates me by now but he can't say I didn't significantly helped his first and second quarter ), you know what a job I have undertaken. I am sooooo close. My painter is holding me up. I really want to reveal it when it is done, which would be about a week after paintshop..which it is completely ready for RIGHT NOW. It will be worth the wait. Also have some new surprises that may be interesting on parts thought to be no longer obtainable!

So did they do your side bolsters as well? Because I didn't have the best experience with old AL and the gang.....First they told me they would sell me a side bolster in saddle color because that's all I needed. They sent me an invoice along with a sample piece of leather to confirm the color would match. When I got the sample and re-contacted them to order it, they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. Wouldn't sell me the side bolster, and said they NEVER send out samples.....So I refaxed them the invoice, with the hand written quote from their leather guy, which he dated just a week before. It was unbelievable!! Finally told them to go kick dirt. Went out and bought a $20 leather kit and fixed it myself.....

They did it all for me, job seems good. I am still in sticker shock of the price with installation and shipping buy its done and they did send me leather samples beforehand.
