Is there a company that produces original upholstery? Front seat needs to be redone. We will also be replacing the headliner which is gone. Any suggestions appreciated- thanks!

Thank you very much!
I bought the raw fabric from SMS. They will send you samples based upon what colour and pattern. Mine was a dead correct match.

I've dealt with them as well and have to agree!
If they have it, Legendary for the seats.
For the headliner, there's three places that make them. Legendary, Acme http://www.acmeautoheadlining.com , and SMS. SMS Auto Fabrics - The Largest Selection of Classic Auto Interiors Of the three, SMS will be the most correct. Legendary and Acme will be good, but the fabric won't be correct. Acme headliner doesn't sell direct to the public, and almost all of the other vendors out there are selling headliners are selling Acme. My vendor of choice for Acme would be New Headliner Replacement For Car, Truck, Van (also to buy ACC carpet).
SMS will probably be the most expensive, followed closely by Legendary. SMS will probably take the most time, but the last one I ordered from them was promised in a month and came in six weeks, so not too bad when you figure most of the sixth week was in shipping. In my experiences, Legendary has always hit their promised time for other products, so I would say they probably will with their headliner too. Acme (through Stock Interiors) should be about the cheapest, but I don't know what the delivery time would be. Stock Interiors has always hit their promised time with other stuff (again, my experience) but I never ordered a headliner from them.
Whatever you do, ask for samples of headliner before ordering. All the companies I named are happy to do that.
Since your headliner is gone, do you have the metal bows? I suggest sourcing some used ones before you do anything if you don't.
