If you are interested, I have a set of 69-72 seat cores that I'm going to be restoring the frames- then advertising them as "build to suit". Shipping is not cheap (are you in Alaska?) but I think you'll come in significantly lower than OPG's, with better quality (I only use Legendary covers & ACI buns)

I am still a month +/- away from starting on them (other seat work is in line ahead of it).

If interested give send me a pm or give me a call, and we can discuss it and I can put together specific pricing estimates.

I don't know if you are trying to keep it stock or not. Here is what I did. Went to the Junkyard and found the seats I liked and that sit low to the ground. I didn't want them to be too sporty. I found what I was looking for in 2004 Chevy Cobalt. The seats were $200 with plastic covers, handles etc. Had to fabricate some brackets for them as they had weird mounting setup. New vinyl front and back seats $850. New carpet was around $230. Had enough left over to change the carpet piece on the doors $80 for install.

Welding the brackets.
