I am looking for some fabric t hat is a " freeze " type patern , Im sure that's not how you spell it , but bear with me . I have looked all over Google and eBay , with no luck . it s the same type of fabric they had in mid 50's chevies . . . kind of a raised abtract shimmery patern in the fabric . . . I hope you know what I am talking about . anyhow that's what I am looking for , anyone out there know what I am refering to ? It is almost time to start doing interior stuff . . .

This stuff? (http://chevyhiperformance.com/howto/p146237_image_large.jpg) Its the kind of fabric you can find in tri-fives? A buddies 57 has it in red...

I'd got to all the local furniture upholstery shops and check, it's very expensive to actually have someone make you fabric, unless your going to be making thousands of yards.
sometime old upholstery shops have a few yards here and there.

Mike if Lucky does not come up with anything, here in Portland is a place that sells all the original shit from back in the day. They have been going around the stae for years buying all this shit up, and still have a guy out thats all he does. The place is called SMS the number is 503 234 1175. They are in the process of moving but still answer the phone. Also they can be kinda grumpy for what ever reason but they have the stuff. I just bought Gator embosed vinyl for a Mopar top I am doing at 60 bucks a yard, ouch. Any way I hope this helps. If they have it for you and you need me to get it let me know, I can save ya some money on shipping...Danny

Uhh... I was gonna say try SMS- looks like you beat me to it. www.smsautofabrics.com (http://www.smsautofabrics.com) I've heard mixed reviews about their customer service, but I haven't had any problems. If you find a cheap place to get old fabrics, let me know. I'm always on the lookout for that kinda stuff.
