    You are right,WE get 4to5k for roadster interiors with good materials.A good machine is around 1000.00.Are labor rate is 55hr.I have customers that think that is to low for the work we do,I like to think we are efficient with are time in getting the most bang for the dollars spent.Buy a sewing machine and practice with it,You might be better than you think,Start with something simple and work your way up.

    I went back dug up some construction photo's and the rendering for my interior in my roadster. Recovery room, I don't use aluminum because i have panels that clip into other panels. So the panel by it's self has to be strong enough to pull another panel off of it, does that make sense?

    NICE LOOKING RENDERING!,Steve is one of the best out there and has been for a long time,Looks good,That should look killer when done.Those would be great panels to attach to,Nice and strong.
