Diy no sew upholstery thread

[rumrumm]

The technical name of the backing material I used for the quarter panels is "cowl board." My source told me you should try to get it from an auto upholstery shop. The commercial vendors have a minimum order which is probably more than you would want. The stuff I used was tan on both sides, but there is another grade which is black on one side and tan on the other, and it is more expensive.

Lynn,
I found this http://www.perfectfit.com/15347/Chip...anelboard.html but like you said their minimum is 4 sheets of the Kraft Board @ $7/sheet ($14/sheet for the black) plus another $22 for shipping. I'll check with a local upholstery shop for "cowl board" as you suggest. Thanks for the tip.

I've been out of touch for a bit, since I started this thread. I've done a bit more work on the Studebaker. I'll post some pictures soon. Lots of good info being passed around.
