Got my SMS 1965 custom seat fabric samples in the mail
I received my 1965 custom seat fabric samples in the mail, I compared them to an nos piece that the astronaut sent me and it is suprisingly close. There are slight differences but unless you had the two side by side you would never know.
SMS sent me a picture by email and the picture looked nothing like the original, it was green looking. I requested actual pieces of the fabric and it is nearly spot on! Pictures to follow
