Hi Aaron It maybe cheaper to just contact Sewfine. They have the patterns and can make them for you without much of an issue. What Ive done for some of my full custom customers Ive gotten them the aligator or snakeskin or whatever Vinyl for the seats trimmed in all custom colors and Sent it COM ( Customers own material ) they made the skins or Covers and I install them for the customer. I can and do make this sort of thing all the time but they have the patterns and Carol down there is Very nice to work with, if you have your own material or just order a custom color from a shop then you can get a custom interior with out all the hassle and not to say alot of upholstery shops do crappy work but Ive seen more then my fair share of crappy interiors. Most of there stuff has really come along since theyre early years. I just did a install of seats and door panels for a 69 bug. I usually wont do a remove and install but this guy really didnt want to do it and really didnt want to screw it up.
Hope this helps. Let carol know Jonce from Fancher's Upholstery sent you. She probably say something like Oh That Guy. Just kidding.
