Is this a good price?

So i talked to this guy about doing my upholstery. The deal is this
I am going to buy the material vinyl for legendary for the seats, headliner, and vinyl top.
He is going to re-foam my bench seats, install headliner, and install the vinyl top. He gave me quote of $1300 is that about right or a little expensive?

[Nacho-RT74]

is that the quote for MAKE AND INSTALL the parts ( just getting the vinyl ) or for just the installing job  getting everything done from legendary ?

After installing a headliner myself in a '69 Charger, I would GLADLY pay someone else to do it...I don't do vinyl tops either...I would say it's fair..I get around $350.00 to install new foam and seat covers from Legendary...

I bought a new vinyl top, headliner, carpet, bucket seat upholstery, seat foam and new headrest hardware all from Legendary (except for headrest stuff - BE&A). Its costing me $1800 to install everything. For what's involved I'm comfortable with the price.

This is an outside source that would install everything i am just going to get the materials from legendary for him to install the new vinyl, headliner, put new seat foam in and install the vinyl top.

I got all of the skins for my seats and a local upholster wanted $1,000.00 to strip the old and install the new.

I paid right at $500 to recover the front and rear seats on my Barracuda (Legendary covers). I did the headliner myself but it's much simpler than a Charger. I think vinyl tops are difficult to get straight but not overly expensive. I could see $1,000 or a bit less but I personally think $1,300 is too high. Of course, labor rates in your area may be higher than here as well.

Sounds high to me, the upholstery shop that did my '73, made the seat covers (front buckets/rear seats in the original pattern), reupholstered my upper door panels, painted all the plastic trim (lower door panels, a-pillars, window trim, etc.) with SEM paint. He charged $800. If I wanted him to re-install everything including a new headliner, it would have been $1200.
