Got more work on my front seat done. I have the front section of the split seat backs done. Still need to do the backsides. A little before and...
Yep, it sure is
OMG...no reserve! :eek:
Looks great to me! This is my first attempt at upholstery too, and I can see all my "wonky" spots too, but ya gotta look close :cool:
The Chevy Fleetmaster coupe of 1947 had a wheelbase of 116", the Olds model 66 coupe had a wheelbase of 119", and the Buick and Cadillac small...
Have you done business with them. Their facebook page seems to be gone. Would like to see any recommendations :)
Thank you! I have tried google a hundred times, but never came across Road Works Auto. Lots of color choices, and the price isn't too bad either....
Anyone?
Can anyone tell me the differences between the floor pans on 46-48 GM cars? The reason I ask is that I'm looking for carpeting for my 47 Olds 66...
I have the front seat lower cover done. Just need the foam to show up before I can attach it. It took me about 3 days to get done, but I'm pretty...
That sounds like a great idea. The springs are already wrapped in burlap, so I will just need to stuff some foam into them. Can probably pick up...
I really don't want to replace the springs, just would love to figure out how to firm it up some. Maybe replace all the original matting with a...
If it wasn't for the worn area in the drivers side and the musty/mildewy smell, I think I would just recover this bench seat in my 47 Olds! It is...
Learn something new every day! Thanks :cool:
Ran across something new while taking my front seat apart. It appears to be a split nail. There are several of them holding the top padding along...
Love Henry J's! What are your plans for it? Stock restored, or rodding it?
Mine is just me being me :p
That turned out awesome! I'd be very interested in a set for my 47 Olds coupe. I'll be watching this thread for sure :cool:
Or this?...
Maybe something like this?...
Yup, my 808's came in a box of 100, but I doubt I'll use a quarter of them. Anybody need the rest?
I looked at the ones in the lower right of your pic, but decided to go with the 808's. I didn't want to have to deal with figuring out the offset...
That is damn nice of you to offer, but if I need them, and you have them, I'll at least pay for shipping!
I should add that the Auveco 808 clips are an inch long
Thanks Mitch for checking for me, I appreciate it! I have another guy checking for me too, if that doesn't pan out, I will let you know :cool:
I haven't tried NAPA, but I've only ever seen the Christmas tree types at the chain stores
Just looked up some clips that would work. I need 6 of them for a total $7.92, not too bad, but shipping is $31.47!!! :eek:
Auveco # 808 Trim Clips [IMG] I am using these, but have run into an area along the front facing part of the door that is double walled. These...
The withdrawal will be difficult! [IMG]
Good luck with the test, I hope it turns out OK ;)
