I've actually been considering spending the spare cash on the interior.
I'm already redoing the panel (putting in a standard T)... I was
planning on replacing the carpets with airtex stuff... maybe I should
go ahead and do the seats/sidepanels while I'm at it.

Or... anyone know a good upolstry shop in the Bay area that can do
aircraft interiors if you give them the old ones as templates?

Find someone that does a LOT of auto interior re-work.

Talk to a furniture re-upholster (sp?) shop that does institutional
(nursing home, hospital, etc.) work. The "burn" requirements for
institutional fabrics meet or exceed the requirements for your
Cherokee.

Have the auto shop do the work, using the institutional materials, and
play really really stupid if the FAA (one chance in a million) asks
who redid your interior.

Or save the certs from the fabrics and tell them to stick in their
ass.

Or pay three to ten times as much for an "approved" interior.
