Title: rear cargo area material
Post by: vivan on July 25, 2013, 06:49:50 AM
Hi all , im about to order material from sms auto fabrics in the US that looks like a good match for the original diamond pattern. It is going to cost me $225 for 3yards off the roll of 52 or 54 inches and that is enough to do rear area, and postage around $150. Might get better for buying more. Im getting some regardless but if anyone else thinks they might like some let me know and i will order a bit more. Im ready to order now so be quick. I dont want money now just want to know if there are two or three others interested. Viv

Iwould check out ClarkeRubber,i'm sure they have a vinyl similar,also check with Trimmers who specialize in 50's chev's coz that's what we ended up with,hopefully it'll keep the cost down.I assume you have a wagon?Good luck, Gaz!

Viv, if you can wait an extra week or two (over whatever SMS told you) I plan to order a full roll of this to bring over, although I still haven't been given the roll price or freight yet so I am unsure of the final cost per metre.
Fingers crossed, I might finally be able to sort out some off-white "swirly" roof-lining too  :-\

Glenn that sounds good to me. I didnt ask roll price as way too much material for me to unload but would work out cheaper. I have a fully restored fc wagon that only needs the rear cargo area done to roll out on the road so keen as. I will leave it for now and touch base with you in a couple of weeks to see how its going. I was lucky enough to need the light blue roof linning that turned up instead of the white last time so bad for eveyone else but a win for me . thanks again for that. viv

They sent me a sample and it is an exact match to the original, the only difference is the backing material which you won't see anyway.
