UPHOLSTERY WORK BEGINS

Tim was present for the start-up.  He came to Hilton Head on Tuesday morning and played an integral part in starting the engine for the first time.  This morning Tim, Don and I began work on the upholstery.  

Tim had chosen red leather seats with white piping; a great nostalgic look.  Tim and I began work on the bucket seats while Don fabricated the plywood backing for several of the interior panels.  The work was progressing nicely until we discovered that some of the seat upholstery panels were missing.  Tim gave the upholstery shop a call and they will be sending the pieces as soon as possible.  But the fabrication of the interior will continue.

Tim also ordered parts for the battery set-up located in the trunk.  They were ordered from both Moss Motors (mossmotors.com) and Victoria British (victoriabritish.com).  The battery shown in the photo to the left will be replaced with a new, period correct, battery, tray and clamp kit.  It will be as close to original as possible.








The body work is progressing nicely and we will be fitting the front fenders and cowl on Friday.

Stay tuned...
