Wouldn't let me upload all on one page.
This is one door finished.
Looks great!!!! One heck of a good upholstery team, I would say!!!!
I see the holes in the ply for mounting brackets any chance of getting a picture of the clips.I am also about to start upholstery and am trying to figure out how to mount the panels.Looks great by the way!:D
I can get you a picture later but I have the manu. name and number
Kent is the manufacturer part # P80709
door trim panel fast botton Ford, Lincoln, Mercury '68+
You can just drill holes in the door where you want to put them in the panel
Your wife sewed that up?? Can I borrow her for a while? :D :D
Looks really professional and I like the color combo. Very classy.

You know for an all expence paid trip to FL. WE might be tempted.:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
A friend of mine came down and seen the panels and asked the same thing. She does a lot of quilting and this stuff is heavier than she is suposed to use in her machine. I may invest in a comercial machine and set her up in bussines:eek: .:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
A guy I worked with started a sail making business, for sailboats. He was making sails, sail covers, winch covers, etc. He bought this small commercial grade sewing machine called something like a "mighty-mite" or something similar. He raved about it, and it is not all that expensive from what he told me. I would get you a name to research, but he is off sailing somewhere right now. He is paying for his trip by doing sewing and repairs for other boaters as he travels around.
Your wife really does do nice work.

Yea I tought her all I know.:LOL: :LOL:
She realy does great Quilts She has taken classes for it I just tell her what I want and LEAVE It gets done and then I go to work.
Good Plan. Around here anyway good upholstery shops are getting hard to find, especially ones that are able to do cusom panels and seats.Quote:

Another day a little more gets done
You have know idea what fun it is to TRY working in there. Gas lines you get to knell on fill lines you get to sit on. As I said not my favorit job but one that has to be done.
This is it for today. Man the end is near and I'm realy sore**)
The carpet is all the same color it's just the lighting
That looks great,its sure going to be nice in the end.what did you use for the back board?did you put padding on before the vynal?im about to get started on my 49 and i got to do all 6 panels ,hope it looks as good as yours in the end!
I used luann plywood for all the interior panels then insulation, then padding. I put all that on with a spray adheasive. Then put on the vinyl pulling it tight and attaching it with hot glue.
CFF sweet work and more inspiration to do my own. Gray really contrasts the black . The drop on the break line looks really good . Your were taking out the 90 degree world we build by .
Did you use a sealer like polyurethane or anything for a moisture barrier.
No as plywood has to breath to stay dry. You could never seal it completly. The little bit of water that get to it won't hurt. I have never had a panel buckel or worp. I have put visquien on the back of the panel before final install.
