So I just visited the Legendary site and they are actually running their 20% off sale through Sunday it says. According to the pics in their catalog the back portion of your rear seat looks like a 68 Satellite/Roadrunner with decor package pattern. It's the first one on page 9 of their catalog if you download it. Like YY1 said their website is very difficult to navigate but if you download the catalog it is a whole lot easier to view items. EDIT: Looks like you guys have it covered. My apologies for some reason I didn't see the previous two posts until after I posted this.

Only IF you have a odd type car that is not covered by Legendary, you can sew something up yourself. Or take to a local trim shop, either way it will be 1500 and up. Mine is a 4 door Dodge Coronet, one owner, also doing door panels.

I'm doing a set of 68 Coronet 500 seat covers right now. Legendary also sells an installation kit that comes with burlap, muslin, and new listing wire with instructions. You will just have to buy hog rings and pliers and some 3M spray glue to assemble the foam kits. By your pictures you will need new foam also. If you have a broken spring, upholstery shops actually have a collar that goes over the break. I had to get one and then I had the spring tack welded by the collar. I've done a few sets of seat and always used Legendary kits with no problems. Like above said 'use the sun' and also watch some of Legendary's videos on YouTube for sure. You can do it!

I did my 68 charger seats. I bought muslin, foam, cotton batting and burlap in bulk from JoAnn fabrics when that was still a thing. Way cheaper that way. Used the molded foam and seat covers from legendary. Both fronts and rear seats turned out awesome.

Bought covers from Legendary during their Labor Day Sale (Sept 1). Received covers on November 11th. They clearly stated number of production days on order. They arrived with in 2 days of stated date. I had a local guy install $150 for rear seat and back, $100 ea. for front buckets including materials and they look great! I did purchase the new seat foam as I wasn't sure how much I trusted the local shops skill in trimming the rear seat foam to get the correct look ('64 Fury with the simulated rear seat bucket look). Blasted and powder coated the frames. Be sure you are careful with the hinge covers. Mine are the vinyl hinge pivot covers and they are $29.99 each, available in black only.
FWIW I spoke with Legendary at one of the Mopar shows and their custom department can do some really cool stuff if you are interested in that kind of thing. You have to call them to discuss. I like the simulated bucket look for the rear seat and they could replicate that for my '62 Savoy. They would even let me supply the original fabric that they don't offer.

You may need some springs or repairs. Clean and paint is usually done as well.

Most definitely..... cleaning the old steel frame and repairing where necessary it important.

Also a nice coat of black paint on the steelwork will help get rid of the ming from years of odor...and potentially mouse nesting smells.

Find the center of the seat frame and the center of the seat cover on both upper and lower sections so the lines in the material line up when it all comes together. It does help to keep it warm. I have compressed the springs and used plastic ties to keep it compressed. Once it is all together cut the ties and things tighten up!
