Check out the place I posted for material Scott. The will even melt the seams in the material for the pleats if you want. I passed on that because that is always where the material splits. I will have the upholstery shop add the padding and sew the seams for the pleats in. I paid 47$ a yard for the material. Total time from first call to them and sample arriving and ordering the material to delivery was barely 3 1/2 weeks. I am very satisfied. The heat is really toooooo much. It is supposed to be 98 here today. "Doc" Yahoo!

shop. The drivers seat is at the upholestery shop now. They said
they can not get the perforated material anymore, but the solid blue
he could. So I have to make some decisions on what to do. I need to
detail the motor and engine compartment before the body gets painted
also. The time has gone so fast this summer and this heat slurps too.
I think I am a few days ahead of you in the weather.
