Title: Upholstery questions
Post by: Lisa P on August 23, 2010, 12:16:03 PM

Since I am optimistic after getting the engine running, does anyone know of a good source for upholstery materials?  More specifically, I'll need the cushions for the seats, the cloth, and the headliner material.  This is what I'm up against:

Try  http://www.smsautofabrics.com/
They apparently have the correct fabrics. For a Kaiser or Frazer, you cannot do the on-line search function that you can with some other makes. What I would suggest is sending them an email with the car information year model colour codes and trim #s. If you post that information here first, then some people will be able to tell you what the material names/colours were originally. The information is under the hood up on the cowl

Lisa,

If you look up your model year, make and model car in KFOCI HANDBOOK VERSION 4.0 (this was mailed out to members just about a year ago; members joining since then should have received a copy of the information CD with their membership packet) you can get the body tag numbers translated.  They will tell you original paint color, upholstery trim, transmission factory installed, the Accessory Group items installed (K-F version of the Preferred Equipment Package), and other neat stuff.
