INTRODUCING GUS CHRISTOPHER

Interior kits, for the most part, are usually a satisfactory fit.  In this case, it was lacking.  The workmanship left much to be desired and the patterns were also "off" a bit.  But when you have an artist such as Gus on your team, there is less reason for concern.  Gus Christopher is in charge of interior finishes for Tommy's Topless Cars.

The original was, to be kind, very tired.  Every panel and cover required replacement.  













Tim ordered a custom kit which included carpeting and upholstery.
















As Gus began to install the seat upholstery, irregularities became apparent.  The carpeting was also mis-sized.  But not to worry, we have Gus.













We ordered new carpeting and custom fitted it to the car.   Gus spent a great deal of time re-sewing and fitting the leather seat covers.














Take particular notice of the carpeting on the transmission tunnel. That is one piece of carpeting...an impressive piece of work.














The finished product speaks for itself.


















Thanks Gus, for the great job.  You are a true craftsman.
