Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Sorry to hear about your bad luck on the interior.

Most of the upholstery people in this area do furniture. They can do a passable job on seats, but I have yet to find one that wants to tackle a traditional bow type headliner in the 46.

I'm trying to talk my wife into doing the interior on my T. She sews pretty good(better than she thinks) and I might be able to borrow a heavy duty sewing machine.

Don's car is looking great by the way. Hope he gets to drive it this weekend.

I was really surprised Mike because this guy does a lot of the high end dealer cars in this area. He just put a $ 10K insurance interior job in a Mercedes, and I always see nice cars parked in his shop. I guess he is accustomed to doing stock interiors and custom stuff is outside his area of expertise.

I have to take some of the blame too. I should have taken hot rod magazines to him up front and told him exactly what I liked and didn't like. Maybe I should have headed down to Tijuana (sp) Mexico for a TJ upholstery job. If I still lived in SoCal I would have considered that, wonder if it's like it used to be where you could get a decent upholstery job there pretty cheap?

Oh well, live and learn. Gotta head to the shop to meet Don. Dan is coming over about two to do our final welding and wiring hookups so today looks promising for wrapping it up. After my interior fiasco we are thinking of installing Don's Total Performance upholstery kit ourselves. At least we are going to modify and mount the bed cover, that we can do.
