I paid $1000 for a complete set...all three...in rough shape quite a few years
ago...that is fairly close to what it takes to get them and so would be a good
starting point.
I've lost track of who/where, but someone is already reproducing the frames for
the back two seats...they aren't cheap and you still have to come up with the
cushions on your own.
