'57 interior

[petem]

Hello, new to the forum and need info on replacing an interior. I bought a '57 Bel Air 2-door sedan about a year ago and it is in need of a new interior (among other things). Does anyone have any comments, advice, opinions on where to turn for a new interior package? I see some choices on-line but have no way of knowing what to look for. Thanks in advance for any help.

For me, http://www.ciadellainteriors.com/ has some great choices and more willing to work through any issues or custom needs one may have - let Gina know I said to call her. 1-800-875-8390 or 1-602-454-8388

Thanks, I will call them. Figures. They're in Tempe. I just moved from Peoria, AZ to MT.

Another question: what about replacement parts in general? Is quality and price about the same from all suppliers?, ie Danchuck, Ecklers, Bob's, etc?

For any given part there's usually only one manufacturer, possibly two for some parts. Ecklers basically manufactures nothing themselves as far as I can tell, Danchuk makes some as does Trim Parts, Gene Smith, and a few others. Most sheetmetal is made either by GoldStar or Sherman. All the manufacturers have a large dealer network that sells the parts so look for the one who gives you the best deal with shipping.

Thanks Chevynut. I just ordered the interior from Ciadella. Danchuck seems to have a lot of what I need in small parts so I'll give them a try.
