    Hello all you custom hot rod builders & old timer car guys!

    I am slowly getting to understand the craftsmanship involved in putting a custom interior together for pre 50's vehicles. My first attempt was a gutted 1932 Chevy 2 door sedan. (1980 cover Hot Rod mag.) Nothing to go by and a $ 2,500.00 bugget. I came up with my version of a headliner, door panels, rear quarters, back light panel and carpet (with custom floor mats) I was happy with the results and the owner was thrilled but needless to say I lost my *** and learned more than any book or cl*** could teach. Since then I have done several custom leather interiors for 60's & 70's vehicles, foreign and domestic and am now looking for ideas for a 1936 Ford truck rod. If anyone has suggestions for full white interiors especially the head liner I,m all ears.

    I'll be checking out photos on The HAMB and posting my finished product on this sight when I'm done.
