Default How many yards of material for a '37 Coupe interior?

Getting ready to search for material for my Coupe's interior but I need to know how many yards to get. It needs everything: seat, door panels, rear storage area etc. I'll buy extra for possible mistakes, but I need a starting point so I know I have enough. Does anyone have a number?


Also, same goes for the headliner and header panel. How much material to cover it?

From memory...
Seat 5 yards cloth
Headlining,sunvisors,header panel 5 yards cloth
Doors/rear quarters 4 yards cloth
Floor 5 yards carpet
Rear 4 yards panel board

Le Baron Bonney are no longer with us but a good upholstery shop should have some close matches.

You might find an experienced upholstery person to look at it and measure. Even if you're doing it yourself so that you don't run short. I have done this with a seat.
