    You have done such beautiful work on this, that the look with the pleats not lining up with each other on the side pieces between the side and rear windows. I think it would look better if that was done with plain stretched material. I am amazed with the look of the rest of your work, this one issue, for me, will detract from the finish of an otherwise near perfect car.

    I agree with you Dick Stevens,

    It's only the work in progress, today i have just cut these two pieces of wood, put vinyl on, follow the Greybeard360 screw covers idea (thank you sir :) ) and try to see if it's can be cool, nothing definitive about these two rear side pieces....the form and alignment are not my best result ;) (sometimes i make shit.... :(:cool:). My current problem, is the tension of the roof liner, the original was nailed, but with the top chop, i have remove the hood metal groove, i'm an asshole ;) That's because i must made four side surround pieces...(sorry for my language, it's not easy to explain and translate).

    I must build the rear seat, i want something DIY, and maybe these ugly parts will be hidden.

    No original bench, two small seat with curve shaped foam, if i can....a lot of work

    I want someting cool and clean as possible, always by myself, .....but "the perfect" doesn't exist....(execpt for a upholsterer ;) )
    (Maverick Daddy, ask to Jesus if he can loan me his hammer ;) ) lol)
