I ended up sourcing the seat/panel fabric (see the picture from my post) at SMS. It is a virtually identical wool broadcloth to the original fabric. No matter where it is purchased, it is expensive. I think it was around $110 per yard. That being said, SMS also provided some other samples for carpet and headliner, but my upholsterer was able to get them for a little less elsewhere. I ended up with wool carpeting (expensive stuff) and a cotton headliner. He did a great job. It took a while. Originally he thought he would have the car about 60 days, but other work that he had to do caused some delays in completing my car. I think it ended up taking about 120 days from start to finish. Total cost was in the $5000 range. I had an estimate from a guy in Rochester a couple of years ago and he wanted twice that much ($10,000), so I think I got a pretty fair deal. I will try and take some pictures for you of the interior of the car and post them here if you like.
