I am assuming Gary is talking about new leather kits for the J. There
clearly are more than five Js out there that need new leather, if the owners can
afford it (not a trivial expense!). The question I have is can Gary’s
leather guy create a leather dye for refinishing original leather that still is
in good shape, such as the back seats of many Js that got little or no
use? And a true leather dye rather than an aerosol paint designed for
vinyl? I will say the the interior vinyl windlace I got from Gary for my J
was a pretty good match in color and I was pleased.
Re. the carpet the J (and 1963 Sport, Newport and New Yorker with claret
red interior) originally had a copper- red “tuxedo” style loop carpet with black
thread highlights as Gary no doubt knows. ACC currently offers an
orange-red Tuxedo which is not a real close match to the original J carpet IMHO
but is the only suitable tuxedo style made today. We have approached ACC
in the past and they have indicated they won’t make that style in a molded form
for 1963 Chryslers, which makes no sense since they offer other colors in molded
form. And they wouldn’t have the side carpet panels for the console
or front seat backs ready made of course We do really need a carpet
“kit” solution for the J, or perhaps an entire interior “kit.” This is the
lowest production letter car and unlike many Fs, Gs etc. most of the 110 or so
still out there need restoration.

i just talked to gary on the j seat
problem .
the first problem is getting sms to do the
vinyl .
then a peice of vinyl is sent to gary's leather guy
for a sample .
garys has done this before and his leather
guy came very very close to matching the color.
if there is five interiors out there to
be done gary and i will get on this . gary can deal with doug
at sms better than anybody . so he has to be the one to deal with sms
.....
then there is the problem with carpet .
acc is the only supplier for carpet, gary would be willing to call them to
see if they are interested in doing the carpet .
so if there is any interest in this let me
know.....
on another note . the sill plate dies [60 -64
] were shipped to a machine shop for stamping so those will be
coming soon .
the second batch of heal plates are coming
soon too....
a batch of 57 -59 sill plates are in the mail as we
speak. so they will be back in stock.
also 57- 59 sill plates dodge and
plymouth and desoto can be had if there is any
interest..
