Hi Imperialists,
This is mostly a question for Mike, since he's nearby, but any other
Imperialists interested may benefit.
Do they deal with leather also? Carpet?
My seats need recovering, certainly a dye job as I've got the Black Plum
interior, and Portland is close enough to drive if I HAVE to.
Does this actually go to the list? I've only received mail when Greg posts.
