Re: Help, Need a 67-68 Buddy Bucket Material Sample

Well, I just placed an order with SMS Auto Fabrics for my fawn material.

A HUGE thanks to 68CaliRat for providing me with the sample of the seat insert material. Let me know if I can ever return the favor.

Now, for the bad part....the prices. There were three types of material. The plain vinyl and the narrow heat pressed vinyl for the seats, plus, the wider heat pressed vinyl for the door panels and a headliner (even though it isn't stock, I'm putting a headliner in this truck).

The total bill is going to be just under $500 for the material. That's for enough material to do the buddy bucket seats, door panels and the headliner. They are going to actually stamp the headliner, so it will have that border around it, like factory.

I guess when you add up a new aftermarket seat cover, door panel covers and a headliner, that would run you $450 or so. Really, the only additional cost is going to be having the covers sewn. I've got a good guy for that who is doing it at a really reasonable price for me.

I'll let you guys know when I receive the material. They are going to start on it next week, so I will have this stuff in a couple of weeks. I'll post part numbers, etc. in case anyone wants to order. Some of you fawn interior guys may especially want that headliner.

Thanks again to everybody.
