Thank you. I spent a lot of time testing colors and color combinations to get what I wanted. The upholstery shop had many sample books to go through as well.The gear stick knob was the only thing I had to live with, so I started with that and made sure everything was compatible with the colors in the knob. I have had the knob since I have had the car, 1958 or 1959. It is a soft stone so I sanded and polished it up. I gave the guy who cast the steering wheel rim, photos and fabric swatches, so he knew what colors to shoot for. I was a long process and i did not set any artificial deadlines. It is far from original in so many ways, but just what I wanted.
