New Upholstery

I did my own interior too.
Most expensive part was buying the refigarator to make the door panels
I needed the box you see...

You should save the patterns and sell copies. I too am doing an interior from scratch. I too am a former Funeral Director. We both know where we learned to hand stitch. LOL.

LOL........I always told my friends I was always stitchin up something. Had the interior been original I would have tried to make proper patterns. Like I mentioned it was very old and quite tattered. I did some research and discovered who did the prior interior. When they did it they did a damn good job.
 
What a fantastic job! I'm sure your experience as an upholsterer didn't hurt. Except for the front seats, my 29 Tudor came without an interior. Current plan is to buy a kit from LB or Classtique and take a shot at doing the install myself. I do plan on having a local shop install the headliner. I feel that a poor job there will show the most.
