Building Materials Resources

[xaMdaM]

I'd like to ask for consideration to make this thread a sticky, please.

Since everyone is constantly asking for a location, distributor, etc., for different sources of materials, I thought it would be a good idea to put known sources of commonly sought after materials together.

Not a spam list, but a list that folks here have actually used, and that you would recommend to your mom, or your best friend.

Please list the company name, website, general materials they carry and any comments you may care to add.

They do not generally carry a certificate of compliance for their automotive fabrics, but you can ask for the manager, Ken, and he will get you one. BE SURE TO SPECIFY WHAT YOU NEED THE CERTIFICATE TO ADDRESS!

Colors are very limited to muted medium to dark greys and browns, but their prices are killer; about 2/3 the cost of GOM.
