    I wonder if those seats would clean up, so you have something to use while waiting for SMS to finish your order. An old timer at an auto upholstery shop told me to use Coleman camp stove fuel (basically what used to be called white gas) - put some on a clean white rag, and rub the vinyl. It really does a good job of removing old dirt and grime, and doesn't leave a smell behind. Works on fabric upholstery, too.

    I think giving SMS a friendly phone call on a regular basis to check status of your order helps...they do good work, but they sure are slow.
     
  2. Thanks Stuart, the car hasn´t been started since the engine and trans rebuild, so I don´t need to use the seats. Now that we have the last of the ´body´work done, they car might go into paint...and then it can be reassembled.
    I have spent many hours emailing SMS, the door panels were supposed to be in Jan, but Jan became the middle of Feb. Feb became end of March and the last I heard it was now the end of May...as I´ve not heard from them, I´m guessing they will say end of June.
    I have the rest of the interior, just the door panels are left. Once he has painted the car still I still need to get it assembled, so I don´t need the door panels until the end of the fitting of all the parts
