    Looks like things are coming along nicely. You are only a few hours from me so hopefully I’ll get to see it in person someday.

    Jay tore the care apart and got the frame sand blasted and repaired.

    It's back on 4 wheels and he's working on steering, floors and shock mounts etc

    so good. obviously it went to the right home.

    what are you gonna do with the interior? try to replicate the weird pattern fabric? or something different?

    Thanks!

    going to replicate it as close as possible. Will have to custom make the fabric

    Using the original mounting holes in the frame and replicating the headlight stands exactly how they were back in 1957

    There are lots of custom fabric places online, shouldn’t be too much of a head ache. Will surely be worth the effort that’s a pretty wild interior :)
