i have a 68 Electra 225 thats got a rip in the front seat, does any one know of a vendor that carries the color and can repair it i've checked every were whit know luck o No:
I do not think it will match based on wear and age. You may have to change at least the front seats and perhaps the rear. Did you try auto custom interiors?
Seat Cover Source Calvin , A place in Oregon claims it has the largest Automotive Upholstry selection . Here it is .... SMS Auto Fabrics smsautofabrics.com Good luck ,I have a few classic sources if need I'll do some digging . PM me if you still are looking sor a source and SMS can't help . Steve
Upholstery Adam you dah man !!!!! :bglasses: I just went to another disc and got the same site . I was just coming back to post it ! Have you ever used Fryers products ? Steve
Nope, but I am pretty sure some board members have. This is where I got the link for Fryers... (on v8) when I was searching for links to add to my directory.
Thanks Steve & Adam I sent them an email and the pics, i'll let you know if they can help me It's driving me nuts that i cant find the seat covers makes almost want to sale the car.......almost :rant: Calvin
Steve & Adam Just got this from Ron over at Fryer's Auto Upholstery Kits looks like I might be ready to sit my little bottom on some new seat upholstery, and I havent even heard from SMS yet ........Man I love this site you guys are the greatest thanks again calvin Hello Calvin. Thanks for your inquiry. We can help you in a couple of ways. We can make new seat upholstery for your car using factory original NOS vinyl (for a perfect match) or using modern day vinyls. We can make the new upholstery for both seats (complete) or we can make new upholstery for just the damaged parts. In fact, we can replace the damaged sections of your front seat and leave the rest. Let me know what you have in mind and I will give you a quote. Best Regards, Ron Fryer's Auto Upholstery Kits 712 NE 130th Street Vancouver, WA 98685 (360) 574-8070 www.autoupholsterykits.com
Very cool . I like it when a company responds that fast . To me it sounds like they want your buisness . One thing to consider ....... If you go with panel replacement you need to consider that your original material is close to 40 years old and there will be some degree of fading . May look like a patchwork quilt if you don't replace the whole cover . Just my $ .02 opinion . Steve
Steve & Adam I got this from SMS, im going to start with the whole front seat and see how that looks then go from there hopefully it wont be that far off that i would have to do the whole car. anyway thanks again guys im sure i can get'er done calvin Calvin--We're sending you samples in the mail. I hope I have your full address on the e-mail. It looks like I do, but if I need more, please let me know. Yours truly, Doug Pollock
