Default Tudor upholestry

On the cheap I am going to attempt my own interior installation on my 28 Tudor - daily driver. I pretty much have an idea about what I am going to do but am stumped on the rear section. Does anyone have pictures of the area in back of the rear seat from one side window to the other? How far down from the headliner does the upholestry go and what does it attach to?

There should be a horizontal tack rail across the back of the body. This tack rail is the intersection of the headliner and vertical upholstery panels. The headliner attaches to this tack rail followed by the back window and corner upholstery panels.

If you have Netflix, load the free app One Tube. Search for Classtique Upholstery. There are two videos of the headliner installation in a Tudor, and one video about upholstering seats by Lebaron Bonney.

Take a look at the photos of in my 190A Album. The upholstery in a Tudor is similar in arrangement to the 190A.

The headliner must be done first. Use the spray adhesive as described in the videos because it will allow easy adjust of the headliner before tacking it into place.

The sides stop at the unpainted vertical between the side window and back window? The back goes from bottom of side windows up to the headliner from one side to the other and no upholestry below this point?
