So the ‘77 trunk material is shot

Would Jim at Leather Restorations have the correct material? Anyone know of a complete kit for my ‘77 Town Coupe?

If anyone would have it, he would. Maybe SMS Auto Fabrics?

Just remember to clear your weapons beforehand after you replace everything. That prevents stuff from getting shot. :wink:

You can get this done locally. Dizzy, a seamstress, who is no longer around, did mine. She had access to lots of material as most seamstresses do, and she matched the stuff and used the old pieces for patterns. It looks fine. Look for your own local Dizzy. None of us knows where she went, not even her husband. At least he's not sayin. Wayne

Flashbacks. I'm having flashbacks to the guy whose friend shot his car. Those were some great times.

I shot a 93 Grand Marquis before the junk man arrived. It just seemed appropriate. Wayne

So I called Jim Wallace and he said he does not have the material and because the material is molded, my best option might be to get one from a salvage yard.
