WELCOME to the new Upholstery/Interior section
With a suggestion from several members, Brent has been kind enough to start a new sub forum for those that wish to talk/discuss Upholstery. While the title states "Upholstery/Interior", I would think that talk about convertible and vinyl tops would also be included in this section. So, have at it, keep it civil, and enjoy.
Sincerely,
Bill S.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

Thanks Bill and Brent for this section. Should be interesting to see how many good interior guys come in here now and throw up advice. I have always wanted to learn the interior/upholstery trade. Most guys do not like to show you how to do it because it's an art and they all learned on their own. Seems like a hard business to get into. I would like to learn just for personal use.www.streamlineautocare.com
If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!

It is a hard trade to learn and be good at,I have seen guys that have shops that have been in the business for years and still are trying to get it right.It is a test in free form thinking,There is nothing to start with and you have to create the enviroment you are looking at and sitting on.Just like any other aspect of your car the more you do the better you get.I have been in the business 20 years and have been lucky enuf to have been part of every major award given and work with some of the best builders in the country and I am still trying to get better all the time.That is what makes working fun, not just a job.I am a newbie on this site but I will give advice when I can.

Man am I glad to see this new topic get its own place. I just bought a upholstrey sewing machine a Rex. Maybe now with this new board I can learn how to use the thing. I am not interested in going into the sewing and trimming business, but it would be very cool to include this aspect of car fab into my own cars. I am sure many feel the same way.
Merry Xmas to all you guys, and may the new year brings us all a better place.
