Team,
I've just removed my original sail panels from my 73 Cuda, whilst these are in OK condition they aren't great, so, who sells the most closest to OEM in black non perforated sail panels??

There's only one company that manufactures the "best" quality interior parts.

Thanks guys,
I've sent them an email asking for actual photo's as the web site didn't have them. Ref headliner for the 73, I purchased an OEM correct liner from SMS  up in Canby OR.  https://www.smsautofabrics.com/request-samples.php, they actually sent me a sample first all the way out here, the replacement unit they made for me is spot on and matches the 73 Cuda OEM piece perfectly, I don't know of anyone else who does the 73 specific.

Then why wouldn't you have bought extra material and recover your original panels ?

on the 73 the headliner is like a corded material and the sail panels have a smooth semi gloss vinyl covering, also the backing boards are a little out of shape, not bad but and could probably be steam pressed a little possibly but the black vinyl covering is hard and funky

That place is about 40 minutes from my house.  They have a lot of rare fabrics.  I heard they still had an original gator grain roll.  They wanted  :bigmoney:

That doesn't sound original to me, however I haven't played with a lot of 73's :alan2cents:

100% guarantee Allen, this car hasnt been touched at all, apart from some noofty shooting it with gunmetal grey. as for the interior and mechanics, completely untouched, still had 72 date coded mufflers!! heater hoses are original. I have no reason to doubt it in any way shape or form

Do you have a picture?   That would be interesting to see.

Actually, if the car is very original, it might be neat to see lots of pictures of other stuff also.
