Outstanding!

That's a beautiful car. Enjoy the ride...............in comfort.

Would you mind sharing who did your upholstery work? Or did you buy a kit.

Many thanks

I had the upholstery done locally, but they only did the 4 seat cushions and the front seat frame for $975 (I supplied the fabric). I did the rest of the interior myself, head liner installation, door panels, kick panels etc. After all the sewing I did on the other parts, I regret not doing all the upholstery myself.

I bought the striped fabric from Lebarron Bonney at a price of $82 a yard (broadcloth), it took around 8 yards. The carpet set came from SMS Fabrics. The carpet was excellent quality but the front set doesn't fit quite as well as I would like, but its acceptable.

The headliner was pre-made from SMS and it fit perfect. It was a lot of work however to install it and get all the wrinkles out. I ordered extra headliner material to use on the front seat frame and the various other interior pieces like door panel sections and the center column between the doors. I used vinyl (like original) on the bottom of the door panels, kick panels, and the trunk decorative panel. I bought the vinyl locally.
