    You could try Le Baron Bonney Co. 1-800-221-5408,
    Website address is www.lebaronbonney.com, Their workmanship is first cl*** all the way, they are a little on the $high side, but you get what you pay for, I hope this helps a little.

    Here are a couple of pics. from my 50' I had redone last year. Nothing fancy, but it will show you what around 1K will get ya. It's simple, but I like it.

    It looks like they did a great job, and the color matching looks perfect to your exterior color, good job.

    Nice,
    what has me confused is, my buddy has a car that his grandmother bought new. He wants to fix one just like and give to his dad, and the one he still has is BAD rough and the door panels appear to have been black, but the seat has small parts or RED vinyl on it. Coule that have been a factory color combo for a 49?

    Bullfrogg.....I stripped everything down and dropped it at the upholstery shop to have them recovered. I believed they just laid a 1/2 recovery foam over the old cheese cloth and followed the existing pattern. Same with the doors. I got the carpet from National Chevy. It wen't down real easy. This is a pretty simple interior to deal with. My only advise is to look under the carpet if you havn't already. Bad stuff likes to hang around the body mounts.
