I am trying to upholster the car but have no idea what Iam doing. Any one have any pics especially of rear seat and back rest?How does it all go together?
 
here are some pics that show what i think is the right way to install the upholstery. I have this piece of wood that I believe goes on the bottom and the fabric is nailed to it and flipped over and the wood supports the cuchion.

I found a neighbor that has a 26 touring and I took some measurements and pictures. Upholstery all done and moving on to emergency brakes. I had to take a lot of metal off those brake shoes to get the drums to fit. Will take more pics soon.I took car for ride with new upholstery and the 2 inches that I moved the frontseat back rest back made a big difference. It was real easy and gives me just enough room since I am 6 feet tall.
 
I'm sure you will end up with an excellent job, judging by looking at your previous projects. I'm fascinated with guys who can diversify.
 
Thanks for the support, I promised my wife this will be the last project for a while. At least the last one that will cost so much. Iam considering putting a 1993 camper van drivetrain under a 1936 international C - 1 pickup. I picked up both vehicles for cheap so no major investment. i plan to sell it when Iam finished. Will be my first modify. Good winter project.
