The next two items on the list are the rear interior panels that cover the top cylinders and the rear cushion. I have recovered one of the rear interior panels already, but I am going to show you the process on the other one. so here are a couple of pics to start with.

you may realize that in the last picture Bob posted that my seam line was higher on one side than the other. I went into work and rectified the problem. I left my camera at home so no pics tonight of that.

more pics happy thanksgiving Pop. Love ya DAD. Happy thanksgiving one and all the cushion is next stay tuned.

Ok the lean back for the convertible is done here is the remaining pics:eek:

ok the board in the lean back was wrotten and broken remade that board and rejoined the woodwork. Reattached the springs added burlap added foam added cotton. Now its ready for material. Made a pattern from the old cover made new pieces. Sewed the pleats. Now its ready to be sewed up I will get back to you when the cover is sewn and ready to go on thanks Dale:) Ps/ had to repair the springs as well

As a refresher Bob T is my father n law. Pet'e was in the Joplin tornado. I had open heart surgery after my 3rd heart attack. During recovery I started repairing our 47 conv Pet'e. Most of Pet'e has paint now and the hood plus the front fenders need paint now. I'm reconstructing the car now. As I'm reassembling the car I plan posting pics and get advice from you all. My recovery was lengthy. My job of twelve years decided to leave me. So my new profession is car upholstery (trimmer) So my first posts are recovering of the rear leanback. ps. use the hybrid to see pics in order
