More or less correct: I had the covers sewn by Fryer's Auto Upholstery 
(www.autoupholsterykits.com) in Vancouver, Washington.  They took my 
old, beat to hell covers and recreated what had been there.  They also 
worked directly with SMS to get all the correct fabrics, and even 
recreate the heat-pressed lines on the front seat backs.

As far as the install, that was me and my partner, using the ol' hog 
ring pliers.  All the substrate (the foam padding, the burlap, etc) I 
got locally.  This is actually not that bad, though time consuming.

Cheers,
Gwen Smith
