So I spent some time on the phone with SMS and Legendary today. Here's what it looks like;
66 Sport Fury Convertible Black Interior.

SMS makes both the seat covers and the door panels.
I have to send my door panels in and also the seat covers?
Door Panels & Back Seat Side Panels $759.10 Sale Price
Seat Covers and bucket Seat backs $1276.00 Sale Price
4 months for the seat covers and end of the year for the doors!

Legendary only makes the seat covers.
I don't have to send in my seat covers.
Seat Covers and Bucket Seat Backs $1031.80
14 Weeks after they go back to a normal work schedule

So I remember months back hearing folks complain about being promised product for close to forever but can't recall which supplier was which?

Can you share your experiences, good or bad? I'd like to order this stuff while it's on sale!

End of the year for door panels at SMS? I didn't realize they cut their processing time to less than 1/2. Don't hold your breath.
 
Both do quality work, I've heard rumor that Legendary buys the material from SMS, but I don't know. I've heard SMS takes forever and a day. I bought my carpet and seat covers from Legendary, my door cards are good so I don't have to deal with that. Good Luck.
 
I got the same response from them.
No way am I sending them my seat covers to them leaving my ride in dry dock for a minimum of four months knowing it could easily be twelve months out.
I have a local shop making covers for the Monaco.
And no way will they sell the patterns to anyone.
 
Got my seat covers from Legendary and it was a long wait. Fortunately I had ordered them far in advance of when I needed them. Did fronts buckets and back covers as well as the rear seat.
The foam should be replaced as well but they don’t make it for our car. A good upholstery shop can deal with that.
 
SMS is slow and doesn't meet their promised dates. This happens time and time again...

Legendary has a pretty good rep in the business. 14 weeks? Legendary might stretch that out just like every other vendor, but I'll bet it won't be months or years like SMS.

I ordered once from SMS. Great product (headliner) but they were about double on the promised turn around time. Ordered quite a few times from Legendary (in years past) and always got it when promised. That may have changed over the years, but I haven't heard much griping.
 
I'm gonna pull the trigger on the seat material with Legendary. Still trying to figure out the door panels?
 
Legendary usually has a sale at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. I believe it's generally 25% off regular pricing. I got all of my seat covers including my buddy seat for my 69 Sport Fury PH23 from them in 2019. if you can wait until the end of the year you can save a pile of $$$.

Hi I bought my seat covers from legendary for my 1968 sport fury convertible I bought them near Memorial day and the salesman gave me there Sale price which included free shipping.They were very nice to deal with and I received them mid-July and had a local shop install with new foam came out great, I bought my door panels from SMS . I had to send mine to them. They originally told me 11 months I called about 10 1/2 months to check on the status. I was very polite was told next month. I said ok thank you. I was then told no one is special everyone has to wait which I agreed. The lady continued on and I said I have know problem or any expectations that I should go in front of anyone said thank you have a nice day and got them 7 months later. I must say they came out perfect. My advise send them a donor set or do them first thing. I would also recommend not calling up for an update. She reminded a bit of the guy who sold the soup on Sienfeld. Good Luck
