Title: Were do I go for carpeting and seat covers for my 1968 280SL?
Post by: Bob G ✝︎ on August 30, 2013, 02:59:13

I have a bunch of stuff to do on my 1968 280SL. I am very happy it  is back from Bob Onagers. He did a great job on all the things I need done  . Between Jerry Hjeltness shop and bobs it been two  year's a lot to  catch up She is not going to be  a princess in a trailer. SLs are for driving and that is my goal. I do not  thing the solid black hook and loop carpeting in the car is original, my father must of changed it. I think it  was slat and pepper color.. I want  to get the seat  done so I  can drive it. I have a bad back and some pain in my escalator foot off and on. So I will need a custom modification to the drivers seat. I already have the horse hair pads for Mercedes classic center.
I have another question. since my car is not for Cconcours should for safety I  put factory headrest in the seats. Ya or NA?
 I really do not care but my neck get tired and they would offer some support and safety. I have AAA classic insurance and need a person
to do an up dated appraisal on her. who should I speck to I live in Long Beach, CA?
Please PM me  with any information.
