Re: New Upholstery
Nice work - now you're only half done. You still have a 30 coupe to do. Bill
PS: your work shows great skill. |

Re: New Upholstery
I did my own interior too.
Most expensive part was buying the refigarator to make the door panels I needed the box you see...

Re: New Upholstery
You should save the patterns and sell copies. I too am doing an interior from scratch. I too am a former Funeral Director. We both know where we learned to hand stitch. LOL.

Re: New Upholstery
Beautiful interior. Good upholstery is the finishing touch that makes a car really stand out.

Re: New Upholstery
What a fantastic job! I'm sure your experience as an upholsterer didn't hurt. Except for the front seats, my 29 Tudor came without an interior. Current plan is to buy a kit from LB or Classtique and take a shot at doing the install myself. I do plan on having a local shop install the headliner. I feel that a poor job there will show the most.
