    Earlier this year I connected with a guy named Fred Carello (fmc56) on this forum. He made excellent Maverick Seat upholstery reproductions. The last time I talked with him was July 14th and he said he would send me a quote for new seat covers with shipping. I have not heard anything from him since and I can no longer get in touch with him. I see no activity on the forum for him since June/July. Does anyone know anything helpful here? If he is no longer doing it, anyone have recommendations for someone else?
    Thanks!

    From my dealing with him, he's a busy guy, and it's been car season. Do you have his phone number? Someone will.

    Got my covers from Fred around the same time that Mike got his. Fred is a very busy man.

    Try sending Fred an email -- you may have better luck. He probably is in his busy time of the year. I think his busy season is -- year round. When you do nice work at reasonable price -- you stay busy..

    Thanks all. Good to hear he is still doing it! I want his work to be part of my project. I am not desperate yet and will keep trying his e-mail.
