Upholstery Work Has Begun

I was informed that she was rolled into the paint booth yes­ter­day and they began to paint the inte­rior parts.  I’m look­ing for­ward to going by tomor­row and check­ing her out, if for no other rea­son than to check the color before we get to far into this.  In the mean­time, my uphol­sterer called to say she had bro­ken down all of the pieces and had the cov­ers off and taken apart and asked if I wanted to come get the frames and paint them.  I made a quick trip over and picked them up to bring back to my shop.

The frames are all in great shape except for the back of the rear seat, which is quite rusted due to damp­ness from the trunk.  I will work on those and get them back to her soon, but she still has plenty of work mak­ing pat­terns, cut­ting mate­ri­als and get­ting ready to sew it all back together and of course none of the sewing can begin until we receive the pip­ing from SMS and I hope they are not going to delay me another Month.

I’m busy work­ing on the inner fend­ers, replac­ing the splash aprons with all new rub­ber, clean­ing them, paint­ing and putting a fresh coat of under­coat on.  Also have been work­ing on the head­light buck­ets and tail light fix­tures.  Things are start­ing to fall in place and I am really look­ing for­ward to hav­ing her home, hope­fully within the next 10 days so we can begin assem­bly.  Mary Lee will be really happy when I start tak­ing parts from the house and putting them on the car, she’s get­ting a lit­tle tired of hav­ing her house look like an auto parts warehouse.

Back soon…
