AZ Seat re-upholstering

Hey locals, anyone know a good place in the phoenix area (preferably mesa) where I can get my T2 seats re-done? They are currently that leather type stuff, and I want to switch to a nice cloth instead...

Covers off EBay or from Racing Beat (if it's a Vert) and do it yourself. Just need a hog ring plyer you can get at Harbor Freight. The hog rings come with the covers.

Ive done it a number of times, and no one showed me how. Just a little mechanical reasoning and taking your time.

I've always sewn my own. Sewing machine's just another power tool.

I can't sew for crap.

The DIY ones on RB are nice, but it's not a vert

I bought a nice set on the forum and had it shipped via Greyhound. Cheaper than ANY re-upholstering shop. They charge quite a bit for seats like these.
