Wow, reading all of this is very disappointing. I ordered my blue houndstooth 6 months ago from BH. Now I know I why it's delayed. What can we do?

I hate to say it "not much" unless you want to change the interior to something more available.

I did get a response this morning regarding my order from SMS. Apparently their not communicating between how they send out info on orders. I got an email from Charlie and I quote "Norm—I have never received a note from Kim to check on your order, with that being said your order will be boxed up and shipped later today."

Charlie

Based on his email maybe they'll start shipping these quarters out. Bronco Hut gets there Hounds tooth from SMS.

I'll keep ya'll posted if it ships.

Are most people ordering complete seat covers ready to be installed or just the vinyl/cloth material?

Hopefully they are on the right path now? I received two emails this morning like they were waiting for my responses. New guy is Charlie he's been emailing me.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm trying to only source the material as well. I tracked down a 1972 Detroit Book and found the correct ginger vinyl and ginger houndstooth codes. Fortunately they're the same numbers as SMS and match the SMS samples I received. Any suggestions for another supplier?

Received an email from Charlie with SMS reads:

Norm—For whatever reason they didn't ship yesterday, so I just shipped them myself. Here is the UPS tracking # 1z94506003447014xx


Can't wait to see the rear quarters in Blue Houndsthooth.

This company has some houndstooth seat fabrics. I have no idea if they are ford proper or not, but I thought I'd share just in case.

I just checked that tracking # they sent me and something is on it's way.

Should be here next Thursday. I'll post up pictures when I receive them.

Great, great, great! Happy to hear.

Charlie sent me an email and said "Your order still needs to get mounted on the boards, but I still have quite a few orders older than yours and currently only have 1 person working in the mounting department. That's a huge reason why everything is taking so long. I will move your order to the hot list to get done, but I don't expect to get there for several weeks. Please check back in a couple weeks to see how were coming."

Not sure what happened to Kim since he replied from her email thread I had going.

I just received my Blue hounds tooth rear quarters. Man do they look great! Still don't know why it took 17 months to make these. But for whatever reason, I'm glad I'm done with the aggravation of going back and forth with them. Glad to see they are making progress with these....Hopefully everyone who ordered will be getting there's soon. Not sure why the pictures show up sideways. Their not that way in the file..oh well......
