Just a word of caution. When I purchased new upholstery fabric for my '56 Patrician from SMS, I also bought a premade carpet kit for it as well. The fabric was fine and looked pretty much identical to the original to me, but the carpet was poor quality and the cutting and sewing even worse. Nothing fitted properly, so much so that one side was way too short to fit under the sill trim plates and the other side too long requiring trimming. I've tried to cover up the imperfections but I still know that they're there and it detracts from what was supposed to be a full retrim, apart from the headlining. John
