Having no luck with the search feature for this one.
Looking for new front seat upholstery in grey for a 1963 SC we have. Want as stock looking, and best of quality as possible. _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |

Wolfburg West and Cip1 carry the same ones.
Don't know about 'quality', but that's the one I'm planning on getting. Sewfine has them but they are not stock at all.
Off topic a bit, but did you know a bug seat cover fits on the bus one? It's only off by a little bit, and I got it to fit perfectly (temporarily) until I get the cha chingos for the nicer set. _________________ Reading skill increased by +1 |

just from past experience, if you call Sewfine directly, they can almost always do whatever you want.
The problem with TMI is that all of the vendors are TMI drop ship customers, meaning you pay the vendor of your choice, but the vendor is at the mercy of TMI as to quality and timeliness _________________ Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery! |

Have WCC sew up your covers. They use TMI's fabric but do a MUCH better job _________________ Stocking distributor of "The Funky Green Panels"

Or Octavio's. WCC's upholstery man is octavio's brother, and IMO, their interior work is at the same level. |

Hi Ronnie,
Hmm, you mean WCCR? Did try to send Email to Nate there and it got bounced back with no such email address. Then tried Emailing Lenny, and that was about two months ago.
Looks like time to try the old telephone method....
Thanks all for the responses! _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |
