Good Morning All As the 'Polar Vortex' barrels across the country, I'm out in the Man Cave finishing up projects on the Party Barge. I have the rear seat out to be reupholstered, so I'm looking at the installation of rear seat belts. I read the thread on the the '68 300 and that answered some...

drtubs Good Morning and Happy New Year. I am a fellow 'Buckeye" with a '65 Newport 4 door (aka Party Barge) that needed upholstery work. I got the material from SMS. As stated, they can be S L O W in the delivery process, I guess because they are the only game in town when it comes to...

My upholster ordered leather skins from SMS for the interior of a late fifties Imperial ragtop. His order was over a year old before he received what he needed.

Good Morning You won't find 'made to order' seat upholstery for a 4 door sedan. I ended up getting some material from SMS to repair the front seat bottom of the '65 party barge. SMS is not the cheapest and there wait times are looong. The rear seat was in great shape so I was looking to...
