SMS and dash pad material

[kaiserkid]

Dusty,

Does SMS have the material on file? Are the color names Gray Boucle and Blue Lamar? I sent a couple of samples to them but they are not the best color quality.

That really looks nice.  Great job.

Can we see some pics of your dash after you have it all done?

The Dash has been repadded.  I just don't have everything remounted on the dash yet!  Has not been above freezing in my garage.

Nice, did you replace the bamboo vinyl on the dash with the windshield installed.  The Bamboo Vinyl sample that SMS sent me is bright white and am looking for the same color you have.  Did they re-dye the Bamboo to the straw color?  You have inspired me once again!

Ask SMS for a sample of "Natural Bambu" or Tan.  This is exactly what I got from SMS. They must have sent you the Bleached Version.  The invoice says Tan Bamboo  e?9 I think it is e89.

Thans for that imput. I got a sample of the green boucle, and bright/bleached white, but I need a light tan. They sent me samples, but no price. How much per yard is the two types of material? My headliner, dash, door panels are original, and like new. The seats were redone because of a rip in the drivers area many years ago I would like to redo it in the reproduction material. Thanks for the info. great topic.

4-20-2010  Bambu was $85 a yard, Boucle was $79 a yard

But you have to love the results.

Lovely! Just so I'm clear on it, that is Boucle and Bamboo on the door, and Bamboo and ??Luxura?? on the seats?

[pnw_oldmags]

The Luxura is not exact but what I found to be close and used.  I like it.

[Jim B PEI]

I'll ask again. Is that Boucle and Bamboo on the door, and Bamboo and ??Luxura?? on the seats?  I'm trying to find out what Luxura looks like....

[pnw_oldmags]

The Luxura is only on the Seat inserts.  It is softer and in a small diamond pattern.  My old 53K it had the appearance and feel of a nice bath towel.  Not Vinyl.

Thanks--I thought it was a cloth much like terrycloth (rather than a vinyl) so that picture of the inserts on the seats answers my question!
