Back from the upholstery shop.

While we were at Turkey Run the upholsterer was working on Dans RPU. He was having a top made, seat pads made for the bomber seats, and carpeting to cover just where your feel go. Monday Don and I picked it up for him because Dan had to work. I think it came out great, and exactly the look Dan was shooting for. Here are a few shots of it from yesterday.

Here it is with the back window zipped in place.

And removed.........he isn't sure which way he likes best yet.

Here are the seats.

And the carpeting.

WOW!!!

 

[goose-em]

That is some nice work.

Like it better with the window in.

 

[ratdog]

That is really nice, I like the whole thing.The black and white color combination looks awesome. I like the top with the window zipped in myself,has more of a chopped roof look with the small window.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Seats look great. I like the roof both ways.

What a beauty!! You guys just plain nailed it. Poor ol billet boys are going to be PO'd again. Whether it's a rusty rat, or a finished rat, they just don't grab the attention these cars can. No matter how much money they throw at them. Man that's nice.[cl

OL Snap! very killer[dr

 

[donsrods]

Thanks everyone for the nice words........I'll pass them on to Dan. This car has been his vision and his work, I just kinda help lift stuff and hold things while he does his thing. Every once in a while though, I come up with some idea that surprises him...............but I have to take a nap afterwards.

This weekend he and I spent time doing a much needed clean up on the shop. It was a disaster. Couldn't find anything, our tools were all over the place, and it was just filthy. Made a lot of progress and found tools and parts we forgot we had. Now we can mess it up again.

[KnoxVegas]

That is a VERY nice build. I would start telling you about all the parts that I like but you probably already have the build parts list! lol Very good work.

 

[donsrods]

Thanks, Knox.
