FLookers: Not that I am in the' pipeline" or anything , but I have talked
to some people in "the bizz' here in the Northwest, and as I recall, SMS and
Gary Goers and OAI all know each other well and have "made arrangements". I
don' t recall how it went, something like Gary gets all the 58 fabric and
SMS makes and sells their own 59 fabric...maybe it is the reverse. The
point I am trying to make each time I write on this topic is, you really
must shop and compare all three. Just after I bought my red fabric from
SMS, Pollock stopped making sport fury fabric. "Too expensive and not enuf
demand". Well, now do I hear it is getting run again? Bottom line: He
is a businessman.
OAI has a lot of NOS upholstery. I ordered a front seat set for my 59
wagon w/ bucket seats (red), and he sent an extra set for FREE. But he
doesnt have ALL the upholstery (e.g. rear seats), so if I was to continue
restoring this wagon (which I am not), I would need fabric to match those
NOS seat covers. Since that seemed unlikely, I would have ordered all fabric
from one source. If you have hours to spend long distance on the phone, and
time to wait foir samples to be sent to you, eventually you will get the
results you want! As I said earlier, the vinyl from OAI was thicker, the
right color and the right grain. I hope I am being clear??? roger
