interior shops?

The previous owner of my Bonanza installed two premium sheepskin covers to
the pilot and copilot seats.

Having a few hundred hours on them now, I agree with you that these covers
do wear over time, but they are not sticky and I wouldn't classify the
surface as "velour-like." The wool is very comfortable, both cool in the
summer and warm in the winter. Most importantly, the wool does not stick
to one's butt and prevent repositioning.

Whoops, I didn't realize he was advocating sheepskin covers -- my bad. (I
was thinking just a wool seat upholstery...)

I had sheepskin seat covers on my Warrior seats, and they were great. They
look pretty ratty over time, though, and they hold dirt like nothing else --
but they're nice and toasty warm in the winter -- and not too hot in the
summer.

I am thinking of refitting my Grumman cheetah with leather seat
surfaces and having new side panels installed. Can anyone recommend a
good and reasonably priced person or shop? Pics would also be greatly
appreciated.

I'm very happy with the work, and the price was very good (~$8000)
considering 7 seats, front and rear baggage compartments,and all plastic
and metal trim covered with leather or headliner material.
1-800-890-2004. Flying tigers, which is co-located did the annual and
replaced all the glass while it was in for the interior. Jay at flying
tigers can probably get you a ride back when you drop off your plane (he
flys quite a bit of charter flights, so there's a good shot he'll be
going your way anyway).
