Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: SMS

Hard to understand why the door panels should take so long, after having watched them being produced at Legendary, with the press time at less than one or two minutes per panel.

Perhaps SMS uses a different manor of production, but I don't know why they would. Of course with the K panels, they have the added strip to apply, and they are the only ones with the material.

If the piece involves labor on their part (door panels, etc), it may take most of a year, if not longer. But if it's just bulk fabric that they have on the shelf, they will send it out in a few weeks. I was really surprised when I ordered a yard of 55 Desoto cloth and I received it two weeks later. On the other hand, my 58 Plymouth door panels took over nine months.

That sounds about the way they were with my door panels for my 70 convertible. Initially they told me it would be about 6 months for them but it was almost 2 yrs before I finally received them. This was back in 2011 when I ordered them and I didn't receive them until the end of 2013 after I moved across country to Las Vegas from Pennsylvania. They kept telling they were working on them. Don't get me wrong, if you don't have a time frame to complete your project, they do excellent work, they just take FOREVER

I heard from them a couple days ago about my order, another "2 weeks". Been that way since May. Covid excuses now.

Hello Group:

Its great that we can now post pictures on our new list server. I am sure that will turn out to be very educational, witness the engine block identification from earlier today. BOB: GREAT JOB!

Has anyone had contact with SMS Auto Fabrics, since the Oregon wild fires came so close to Canby? I e-mailed them earlier, about my door panels, with no response, so far.

Regards

bill
