So a couple updates...
Got my samples from Kirsch for the rear arm rests
The one on the right appears closest, the lighting is different between the two photos so it actually looks pretty close. I'll be able to tell more when I take these swatches over to the car.
I have carpet samples coming as well. I was told to ask for hogs hair but Kirsch's is telling me that I want Wilton I or the Wilton II they have in blue. I'll need to figure that one out.
I spoke with Grain it and they have a couple of the blanks left from packardplastic.com. It looks like I can get a dash for $1.8k to $2.5k. the difference is whether they paint it or grain it. I was a little confused as to how they would grain it but I'm still deciding on whether I do that or not. I'll follow up if I decide to proceed with the plastic dash. I can always do it later. Anyway, this pricing is better than where I was before and i could actually envision doing it now.
