Thanks David. I checked with today and it's 54" wide. I ordered 2 yards each of the blue and the ivory. Not cheap, but I haven't found anything else that is close. Not even for the ivory. I've tried all the local fabric stores and a couple upholstery places...nothing they have will work.

So I bit the bullet and paid way too much for this vinyl. I *think* I can get all the panels done with the two yards, plus the scraps I have from the headliner. But we'll see. Now I need to gather the rest of the supplies like foam, glue, and the panel boards.

I'll definitely have to practice sewing the pleats on some scraps. I'll have one chance when it comes to the final product.
