As said of correctness is important the never mind. I’m in the process of doing my ‘39 Tudor standard. I got my carpet from automarinepro https://automarinepro.com/. Made by Dorsett. I got the Essex and have done the install my self. This product is very flexible and I was able to do it...

Not kick panels but I recently did side panels for the trunk of my ‘39 using CAD. That’s cardboard aided design. Starting out with a basic shape and size in my case I traced the curve of the body at the trunk opening and then trimmed it to fit inside. Then added pieces to the perimeter where...

Thanks

Thanks V8 Bob, I thought of rebuilding the seat either with springs or with a platform and foam but as this started out with replacing the headliner and has since grown I’m pushing the boundary of my budget. I was also reluctant to pull off the old but very nice upholstery on the seat. If...

Thanks all for the suggestions

I put some photos in my photo album under interior if there is any interested.

Maybe carpet on the kick panels. Buy the way SMS fabrics has been a big help trying to locate matching fabric that I have on the door and rear seat cards. Haven’t got a match he sent in a sample but from the printing on the foam backing they know who and when.

Not headliner but everyone knows how things expand. Taking the seats out in prep for the headliner install led to filling the springs of the front seat with carpet padding to firm it up which led to a hardware cloth bottom to make sure they stayed put. With the seats out led to ripping out the...

Finished stuffing my sear springs yesterday. Some of the rolls fit loser than others so I took a piece of hardware cloth I had and made a bottom for the seat to help retain the rolls of carpet padding. What a mouse condo all those bagged springs made.Looks like they had a good supply of hazelnuts.

Reviving and old thread but thanks for the tip. I was going to tear into my front bench now that it’s out and sitting on the shop floor. Cover is very nice but the support is not.

Thanks, brushed cotton then. I have the old torn out and only three of the bows needed painting. The #1 bow was the worst so it got a trip to the wire wheel, two others got only the rattle can. I have two new kick panels made but am having trouble finding fabric to match the seats and doors...

With 89 views and no comments maybe I need to rephrase my question. Any advice on headliner fabric, bushed cotton vs foam backed flat knit? Installation ease, has the longevity of the foam improved?

I drove my ‘39 Tudor into the shop with intentions of replacing the saggy baggy headliner. Two weeks later I haven’t touched the headliner. I’ve carpeted the trunk including making cards for the wheel well area using Vetter CAD. I’ve torn into the dash to get the vertices chrome pieces from...

Simply amazing the knowledge contained in the group.

My wife has had both of hers done (at the same time) and one revision. Doesn’t do well with the drugs but did well with ice, ice and more ice. Best of luck and a speedy recovery.
