spartanbilly Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Here is my new interior on my '47 Chrysler Windsor Club Coupe. This forum is priceless even for my car! (1) Carpet, binding and armrests recovered $50 (2) Door panels (board and fabric) $175 (3) New headliner and windlace (SMS Fabrics) $317 all of the above installed by myself (4) Fabric for seats $300 (5) labor for seats $1200 (James Auto Upholstery, Fletcher, NC) Total $2042. It can be done fairly cheap if you are willing to tackle some of the simpler stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm's Coupe Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Your interior looks really nice. It's nice to have a nice clean interior in the car. That's why I did my interior before doing any outside repairs on the car. I wanted it to be nice and clean when I was driving the car.

MacGyver Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Looks Great! What type of fabric is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartanbilly Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 The fabric is something I found at a Knoxville, TN fabric outlet. They cater to mostly furniture upholsterers. I checked SMS for original maroon broadcloth and they wanted $89 per yard. At 16 yards that would have put me in the poorhouse. I knew I wanted something that didn't sparkle in the sunlight and look synthetic. Everything I saw at an automotive upholstery shop had a modern pattern and nothing but grays, blacks, charcoal, etc. (or crushed velvet...puke) Since I couldn't find the color and texture I settled for texture and the mohair look. It appears to be a dense and durable fabric and the upholster said it should wear well. I paid $16.99 per yard. It pays to shop around $16.99 vs $89.00!?

BobT-47P15 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I still need to get my interior redone by a professional, to replace my home handiwork and wind up with some material I like. Have been thinking of making a removable center armrest that would just sit on the seat - covered with matching material. Guess I have gotten used to leaning on the armrest in the late model cars. The removable rest could also have a lid that opened, for storage of misc items. Has anybody done that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manes Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 WOW!! It looks great. My 1948 New Yorker coupe has the maroon and tan interior, but my original seat covers are maroon too. Looks like you picked out a very nice "original looking" fabric. Certainly works for me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingster Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 That is gorgeous!! What a great color and fabric. Where is this fabric outlet and is there a name for that material? I've got a '47 Desoto Custom that needs the interior done at some point. I wouldn't mind taking a look at that material! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55 Fargo Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Spartan Billy, interior looks great, and the price is right. I have my seats out of my 47 Chrysler Royal Club Coupe. they are being recovered, in 2 tone dark blue cloth on the seat faces, and grey vinyl for the backings and seat frames. OEM stitching and pleats will be sewn. I am remaking my door panels, have new backer boards cut, and all holes made on them, I need to know how you did yours, I am using the original stainless trim, and want to use the embossing strips from the old panels, how did you make yours. I am not sure I will put carpet along the bottom of the door panles, could that part be done later if need be.............Thanx and your interior looks great...Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maine48ply Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 How difficult a job was the headliner? I have read mixed reviews on that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
