When I needed seat material for my '57 Fury a few years ago, I knew SMS was
probably the only one making the correct fabric, even though they take
forever. Since I live in Oregon, I just planned a little visit to them when
I went to the Portland Swap Meet. They had enough on hand, and cut it for
me right there = no waiting!!
So if you want it bad enough, you could always go get it, and save shipping
costs as well. The bad thing for me is they said I'd need 4 yards of
material (for the seat inserts), and I have well over a yard of material
left over. @ $100 a yard that's some expensive dust-gathering material.
