Hi Jim,
You can get leather from multiple online sources or even local upholstery
shops. Google "automotive upholstery supplies" and you'll be overwhelmed
with options. I got mine on eBay and bought 2 full hides for a little less
then $200. I ended up needing about 1 -1/4 hides but hides run in all
different sizes. The "problem" with a hide is that it may measure 50 sq ft
but due to neck holes, legs, imperfections, the actual yield is much less.
When I buy vinyl by the yard to make: door panels, wheel arch panels, wheel
arch covers, trunk panel, "B" pillars and kidney pads, I use about 3-1/2
yards.
