<VV> RE: Replacing Original Upholstery (kenneth dawson)

[airvair]

May I throw out an olive branch? It's possible that everyone is correct. 
Maybe Clark's made a mistake on one set of upholstery. After all, he's 
only human. I've known him to occasionally make mistakes. But in his 
defense, I think he's probably the best overall source for authentic 
stock Corvair interiors.
