The nicest that I have seen are from Heritage.

FYI:
I also purchased BE seats from an Ebay vendor (I believe from Utah). I tried to install them myself, but quickly ran into trouble. I then took them to my upholstery guy and HE had trouble with them, saying they didn't fit and needed to be customized. He finished the job and everything came out fine.

As an aside, was at Borders the other night and was looking at the Magazine "Rodders Journal" - there is a Rat Rod Pickup and the builder installed Bugeye seat frames (no padding at all) as an approximation of aircraft seats. I must admit ratrods are generally a guilty pleasure

That is not my present car. I did indeed have a bugeye that was cut out like that, my small son sat there, and I did make a pannel like that for the trunk area. It just sliped out easly. Of course when he road mostly the top was up so I needed that pannel.
That Pic came off the web someplace.

I just bought and installed my seats from the ebay-er in Utah. Had some difficulties and had the arms modified and they worked. I just did this less than 30 days ago so it's fresh in my mind. E-mail me privately if you want to talk. BTW - thye look great. I obviously had the same dilema you did -- redo the entire entire (panels, trim & seats for ~ $400 and a lot of sweat equity vs. paying $1500 / $2000 or more for heritage and / or professional install). I used some cotton batting to fill the added material in.
Having troube with re-finishing the large trim piece on the back with the curves (I went with a thicker fabric and it is bunching up on the curves) - anyone have any experience with this??
