| I'm curious as to the cost as well. I'm about to fork over to get a complete interior, but first I have to get some floor sections welded in. Mike On year seven of the "I'll get it done next week" engine rebuild.

| Kinda pricey, actually!!! WW prices (they are a TMI distributor). $675 for the 10 pc panel set in platinum/mesh WCCR is $975 for the panel set etc and that I haven't fully priced the rest. Looks like a bit more across the board (not much though) than TMI but, WCCR is reputed to be the top of the heap. It's only money...right!! WW has a really neat online wish list. Ya oughta see mine (megabucks!!!). Very handy for pricing out a lot of stuff. later Mike | |

| Since Sewfine did other things for me besides the interior, its a little difficult to come up with exact prices, it was all in one quotation. But here goes: Entire interior, including panels, seatcovers, padding and spring repair, custom walkthru pedestal vinyl trim, floormats, headliner, sunroof materials& repair and installation of the whole shebang: $5500 I know its alot of money, but I'm sure it added at least that much to the value of the bus.

| By my estimation that $5500 number is pretty easy to get to for an interior, completely and professionally installed. Labor is probably at least a third of the total cost. Good hands don't come cheap! Check out the pix of J. Pickens' bus.... Verrrry nice! The results are hard to beat!!! | |

Yeah, the sunroof and headliner really brings the price up there...

If the bus in question is the one in your avatar, at least you won't have to shell out for the sunroof and sunroof headliner. Standard headliners are MUCH less expensive to install. _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS BBX BBXII and BBXXI Long Distance Award Winner

| That's the one. I've read a number of horror stories regarding how the headliners don't fit properly and to just pay someone to install them. I'm thankful that mine isn't too bad, but would need replacement when I install the new interior. Mike On year seven of the "I'll get it done next week" engine rebuild.
