The last 3 or so years the only thing that remained to be done on the car was the interior. We had looked every where for a material/color that would be somewhat period correct and a color that would highlight the car’s color without success. We decided on a fabric that we felt would be a good second choice at SMS.

We ordered 26 yards in January from SMS and waited about 8 weeks for it to show up. When it did while it was similar the color was slightly different with a greenish hue and was unacceptable. After a week of back and forth they agreed to take it back. We then decided to go with a ribbed light gray wool broadcloth. Waited another 6 weeks or so for it to show up.

The bottom line is it is now finished (See Video) except for a few minor things that need fixing or re-doing. One of those things is the generator, which appears to have been rebuilt but doesn't charge.
