Re: Need seat cloth

I just found my build sheet I just have to wait for the upholster to remove the seat to get to it, it is under the driver seat between the bottom springs and the cushion it is whole but very fragile and could just crumble. as for the seat cloth found it for 45 dollars a yard so the firebird will be done in the oem cloth.

My upholstery guy has a supplier in North Hollywood, CA that found it I am not sure where he got it but it is original oem material not reproduction the light color cost 45 dollars a yard the dark cost 85 dollars a yard I got the interior done at Freeway Upholstery in Castaic, California.
I know there is a guy in Michigan that has a huge amount of NOS material and a guy in Oregon that has NOS or will produce it he has the looms and patterns I do not have the names handy but if you want I can look the names up. the pictures do not do it justice the bright sun makes the material look lighter in color then it is.
