just found this site yesterday and figured i would see what and how things go. got started in the upholstery business when i was 10, with my mom she passed away in 1977, and just kept doing what i new best, 37 years later still doing it. i have a 1958 Chrysler Windsor 4 door, and is named Christine, because she doe's have a mind of her own. hope to make some new friend here, and share a few stories with ya'll.

she is all original, except the fuel pump. 361 poly hemi and runs like a raped ape, started the interior but never finished it, even the radio still works. the guy i rent from is going to do the body and paint sometime for me in trade for some interior work, he is getting ready to build a 35 sedan for his wife.
do we have a photo gallery here to post bigger file photos, all mine are to big to upload

Welcome to the HAMB from another Illinois trimmer. I don't do it full time anymore but I'll pick up a job now and again. I'd love to see some of your work. Post some pix when you get a chance.

Lots of good guys & gals here with a collective knowledge that boggles my mind!! Good to have you here!

welcome from a border state... if you look at yer photos with windows, go down to the bottom of pic to the task bar... then click on the button that says close photo for editing... that will take you to paint...on the top task bar, click on image button then stretch/ skew... set them at about 60% by 60% and save them .. then you can see if that made them small enough to put on the hamber or not... if not makem smaller... hope that helps:o :)
