Hole in the Floor

[bubblerboy64]

Harold, I used Union County Seating & Supply, Inc for the seats.
Located in Kenilworth New Jersey. They do a lot of work for the
local and I guess not so local bus companies and they matched the
existing materials I had used on the couches. They can do about any
thing a person would want and they were also a little cheaper. I
paid $1400 total for the two seats. Shane picked them up so I also
saved shipping.
