Bill, I ran across a twin to your OG 69 Chevelle minus the painted roof today in SE Iowa sitting out in the rain between a farmers barn and the house. You don't see that very often these days, at least I don't.

Just for fun. This is a 300 hardtop I built 10 years ago. Original glacier blue with white painted top. Original 307/Turbo350, now has a 427/TH400. FactoryAC too. Built to be a cruiser. Dan and company helped me get the seats reupholstered with NOS material.

I’m going to have to get the material source and contacts from you. That looks great. I sent a bunch of money to SMS Auto interiors (no affiliation to me as (SMS) for another rare seat cover project and in 8 months can’t even get a simple legit update. So they were the only firm I knew of that had this patten. Open to other options for sure!

It took me a year to get some material out of SMS.
They were the only supplier that had the correct match and the quality was great but they do things on their own time.
I from what I could work out, the running of the fabric was the issue, whether they were waiting for more orders of the same fabric or some other reason who knows but it was a PITA.
Best of luck.

I bought the material from SMS about 10 years ago. They were slow, but did produce the material. They told me this was the last of that particular material.

There would be more cars if I had the room. I was very fortunate to get some neat 69s along the way.
