Legendary Auto Interiors to make new seat covers

How about door panels? Or should I just shut up and go sit in the corner?

Get out of the corner and ask all the 300 Deluxe guys to ante up.

I've talked with Mike at Legendary a couple times and he told me that they are looking to get a pre-order of 30 Door Panels for the `69 300 Deluxe 2 Dr. Post sedans, then will also need 1 full set of original panels to use as templates.

I offered to let them use a set of blue ones I have if they are truly going to start production. Shame is they need to tear apart the originals to get all the specs they need.

I don't see why they couldn't also offer to make panels for the 300 coupes, if 30 guys placed pre-orders for those.

We were fortunate in only needing minor repairs done to our seats. It took us a couple of years before I found out from Al McKenzie about SMS Auto Fabrics, where I got the basket weave material for the repairs. Pretty well all the 300 Deluxe cars you see have Malibu interiors. I would think that 30 customers shouldn't be very hard to find. The 300 Deluxe is just something that most people don't see very often and especially in an SS car. It's always good for a conversation at car shows.

Well Keith, speaking of the 300 Cars, I have just met a guy that sounds like he owned your 300 Silver SS car back in the early 1990's. He's from Belleville, ON. I'll send you his information in case you want to contact him.

Sorry to get this threead off track a little.

[Keith Tedford]

Thanks Don. I've e-mailed Paul some pictures to show him that the car has been taken care of and enjoyed. It's been about 16 years since he owned it. So far I've contacted five previous owners including the original owner. The history and stories are neat.

That's awesome Keith and Don!

Too bad legendary stuff is of poor fit and quality. If PUI made them would be better..

[Keith Tedford]

Now the thread is back on track. I always had the impression that Legendary did good work. I've never dealt with them so don't have any experience. Did have a minor stitching problem with a PUI skin a few years ago but my upholstery guy had things looking good in no time.

Mark,

I have installed at least 1/2 dozen of the Legendary door panels all on 1969-70 Chevelles. I have never had a problem with either fit or quality.

Was your bad experience you had on your 1968 L36 M20 Biscayne factory black car/blue interior?

I've dealt with only chevelles but will tell you for sure that Legendary is far superior to PUI.
