1954 Merc, you were typing at the same time I was, and you were faster!!
Liike Bill said, coming in from other forum experiences it is not obvious how things work and how easily good things can get done here. This came up at one of the busiest times of the year, when everyone has things coming at them from every direction, trying to balance work, family, holiday plans, kids needs and wants, etc, so it understandably took a little longer to come into focus for Bill & Brent. The section is here, and like RestoRod said so well, I am looking forward to peeking behind the veil and learning some of the "tricks of the trade" that make interior work possible. Some of these guys are magicians with material, foam and glue!
1954Merc, I am glad you're here, and that you are willing to share your knowledge. I will be asking you some questions about many parts of the interior work as I get more into my '33. Welcome!!

We've all had bad days and posted things we regret later, but our comments weren't about you having the idea, it was the way you were picking up your toys and going home that put the fur up.
Personally, I think an upholstery area is a great addition. Where I live it is darned near impossible to find a shop that understands custom upholstery jobs like rolls and pleats. They want to replace seats in Lexus and other cars for dealerships and if you ask them about doing a hot rod interior they have no clue how to do it right. I swear I am going to drive my 46 to Tijuana when it's running to get my interior done. :D

It wasn't that I was taking my toys and running. I decided to got to another forum to post my ideas and work and help others. I too am a busy man and to post info on two sites would take hours. That is the only reason I went somewhere else.
Now with that said,,,,, LET"S MOVE ON.

It's easy to walk away but sometime it's hard to come back, I'm glad you came back.
A lot of guys can befit from your experience

I'm sorry, didn't mean to start a hate feast or bash anyone. Just didn't see any reason for him to be miffed and leave. We all lead busy lives and not all things are going to happen overnight.
I'm here to learn and glad to have you back 1954merc!

Hey neighbor,
You keep long days! ;) I see you decided to post here again, It shows how much of a man you are. And after all the hammering you got, cause your busy working!!!!! And helping me, and others to figure out how to do mine/ours, and to get the time to type back to me, on another site, were he asked and they didn't ask why, they just gave him everything he asks for, each time and asked him if he wants more, and has proven to be great guy and great help!
He didn't pick up his toys and leave, but he should have, He's been busy working!
I Have gotten lots of good info from 54merc, He Does fantastic work!!!!!!!!!! Not your moonlighter type work! Top Line type stuff! and he has been willing to help anyone! He wants to share his knowledge to help people get the best they can out of doing it yourself, But if you want some really, really good work done, bring it to him! He won't let you down.
To use his words, he works till his hands hurt, or if he can't quit get it the way he wants, he takes a break, has some coffee and a smoke, and then gets right back at. He doesn't let it win, he does!
And it does only take minutes to set up the section, just ask bill or Brent how much time it actually took!
Like he say's:
With that said we can end this now and we can move on to sharing the art of upholstery. For all those who really want to ask me for advice, I am here and I will help as promised. 54merc
I still say that you and Tim need to do a stitch off and each use one of my cars! LOL :D :D ;)
