I have a 66 mustang convertible with an ember glow and parchment pony
interior. I have looked fairly far a field and can't seem to find an exact
match to replace the worn out one. Does any one know of a place that makes
interiors for Mustangs that are correct e.g. color match?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks

Dennis

Mustangs Plus, Dallas Mustang, etc, carry the interiors, and pretty
good materials and workmanship. You might be expecting too much if you
are looking for an exact match to what you have now due to
age/fade/etc. Might check with K.A.R. Mustang (they do restoration
work on Mustangs, as well as carry parts now...

Yeah I've checked those folks out and the problem is the color of the ember
glow around the pony it appears that the area with the ponies is only only
marginally darker than the rest of the ember glow. The original was much
darker so it's not so much a matter of even being close.

TMI makes pretty good stuff. I'm going to use a set of thier pony seats and
the new matching two tone standard door panels they just came out with.

How about, go talk to an upholstery shop and show them what you want
it to look like when finished, and show/explainwhat you are
essentially starting with. See if they can make the alteration you
seek using dye, and for how much. No a perfect idea, but it's an
option.I'd see if I could find some referenced shop noted for good raw
upholstery work.
