...youre right not to trust just anyone to do the job!!
...but with a little help from a friend...you can do the install...
I think Ken would tell you...
...if your not so inclined...then dont do it yourself...
It would be easy to do again..but the learning curve rests upon the first seat...
either way...you are going to love the new leather

If you have a Corvette club nearby, try asking some of the members where they get their upholstery work done. I asked the owner of the dealership that I bought my car from who he recommended. He is into restoring old Corvettes and gave me the name of a shop close by - worked out great.
Congrats on the new interior - Ken does great work.
