Getting close, up-date from this week

I wouldn't be surprised if the car's tucked safely in the garage within the week! ***THUD***

Here's pics from this week, as of yesterday! Notice the pic of the trunk carpet kit. There's no pieces for the sidewalls. What do I do, that looks awful.

I'll be taking applications for hiring Chuck out doing restores in a couple weeks.

Have an upholstery shop cut some red hardboard panels to slip in there.
 
Re: Getting close, up-date from this week

That's an idea. I thought about contacting Moss and asking them what I should do, and if I could have (okay, maybe buy) a yard of carpeting to 'patch' in there.

Janel,

That is one fine car! WOWSA! and I don't think the boot looks that bad with the carpet like that...but then, it is your car and you have put the time and money into it, so good luck with whatever you decide to do /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, that looks so nice. That engine room is outstanding. And I do agree the boot looks unfinished like that. Do the needful, with such a lovely job would be a shame to not do any and everything you can see or think of.

I had a local auto interior restoration shop match my boot carpet. Paid about $20 for a piece; I'd send it to you free, but it's black :-(

I made a cardboard template for each side and just cut them out.
 
Re: Getting close, up-date from this week

What is nice about the "custom" side panels in the boot is that you can then store items in that nook and keep them hidden and in place!

I'm about as green as a turnip leaf! The schedule you guys have KEPT was the timeline I'd intended to have. Amazing job, level of quality is outstanding, the thing is a jewel.

Excuse me... now I'm gonna go out and beat ~HER~ MG with an ugly stick... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif
