For stock materials, try http://www.smsautofabrics.com. They had the OEM fabric for my car when I checked, but at around $75 per yard, it definitely wasn't cheap! For a more generic material, try your local Jo-Ann Fabrics. I go there for my headliners, and glue them up using 3-M General Purpose Upholstery adhesive ( DO NOT USE WHAT JO-ANN SELLS!!!) that I get at Wal Mart. If all you want is a vinyl to make door panels from, they would have that so long as you are not too picky on an exact color or grain pattern. There are also companies offering direct fit seat upholstery for our cars, but I do not remember where I saw it. It was far from cheap, as our cars have much nicer interiors than the old all vinyl ones in a GTO or Chevelle.

I just did a little tutorial on headliners in my build thread, if that would help. For the doors, I decided I could not afford to do them right now, but will probably do them in the future when I swap out the seats for buckets.
