Finished my interior today, what ya think?
Hello all the 29 Tudor is getting close to being done. I guess? Finished my interior today this is a kit from Lee Chatterton it was a pretty good kit I guess I have never done anything like this before no upholstery work before so no LAUGHING!!! I know that it is not perfect but that is ok because my car is just a driver and it looks better now than when I got it so all I like is to paint the wheels and put on my new tires and I will be ready for some fun I promised the wife that the first thing we are going to do is drive out somewhere in the country for an old fashioned picnic just pull off somewhere under a big tree and enjoy life!! Because it just don't get any better than driving around in a FORD Model A!!!!! Thanks for looking and not laughing to much at the interior job! Robert DeBord See the pictures below of interior and the way I bought it and the way it looks now in my avatar picture.

Problem is, now you can't have coffee in a travel cup when riding in the Tudor.

You did what most people would be afraid to do, you done it yourself. Thanks for the pictures and advice. Look's really good.

Re: Finished my interior today, what ya think?
Reminds me of the first time I did an interior for my first 29 tudor. I made all the panels myself. Made all the seat covers as well, even the head liner. I used old army blankets. Sold the car 15 years ago, and the interior is still in it. I was so proud back then of that job. You should be too. Feels great to do things yourself. Good luck with it, and enjoy every mile you drive......

Re: Finished my interior today, what ya think?
After forty years I have long forgotten how many cars I have upholstered. You did a fine job for a first time effort. Headliners always scared the bejesuz out of me but magically they all finished out very nicely just as your did. Now grab the better half the pic-nic basket complete with blanket and have a glorious day.

Re: Finished my interior today, what ya think?
Hey everybody thanks for all the good comments I have worked very hard on this car even if it is just a driver someday I may build a judging car but for now me and the wife are going to have a lot of fun in this one for now! I said to pull over an have a picnic and enjoy "LIFE", 4 years ago I was 38 years old and was told that I had Cancer had a hard time then with all the treatments and operations but now at 42 I am Cancer free and enjoying LIFE so take Life by the horns and enjoy every minute and spend your time with the ones that you love and what you enjoy doing and never look back NO REGRETS! Thanks everybody you don't know how much it means to me to hear from all you guy's out there, thanks again Robert DeBord.
