IML: Gary Goers Interiors?

[Tony Lindsey <papatony@xxxxxxx>]

I've been way, WAY out of the actively-restoring end of things for too 
long... Too busy building networks, teams and communities. Now, on the 
advice of my new therapist, I'm taking time for some selfish pursuits!  
:->

The first item on my list is finally getting my '61 Crown convertible's 
interior done, and the top installed. Princess Hyacinth's interior has 
been a pink/blue/red/white/black patchwork for years, as you can see in 
the photo I took yesterday:

When she first arrived in my life, there was NO interior at all (except 
for the blue front kick-panel in the picture), so each color came from 
at least one other parts-car in the years since 1985.

My goal is to have a luxurious, accurate and swanky red-leather 
interior.  The ULTIMATE, ideal realization of that goal would be to 
have Gary Goers make it for me.  I can't afford it, but then, when has 
that ever stopped me?  :->

I've sent off a Snailmail letter to Gary, along with four bucks for a 
catalog, asking him about the possibility for doing my interior.

So, I have some questions, and hopefully the wiser heads on this list 
will be able to help me out, since I fear that Gary might be too busy 
to take on another project:

- Has Gary ever made a leather (or cloth) interior for you?

- Did it include side-panels?

- What was the cost, and how long ago did it cost that much?

- Does he have the '61 Crown two-door pattern for the swivel seats 
nowadays?

- Is there anybody anywhere else who does just as nice a job?

- Is there anybody who makes the factory-style ribbed side-panels for 
the 61-62 interiors (using the heated dies), these days?  Years ago, 
there was somebody in the L.A. area who did, but I lost track of them a 
long time ago.

- Is there anything else you can share on the topic, that I forgot to 
ask?
