I did what I feel is one of the coolest interiors of my career in this car. I failed to get pics of the finished project before it left the shop....
This customer can be frugal, but he ain't so cheap as to do an emery cloth job. Oh, and I was being sarcastic with the "stack em'" comment. :)...
Well, the boss knew Don, and he knew nobody. Thanks anyway, Benno. Len
I am just trying to make the point that we do know what should be done. For the moment, that is not an option. We get a LOT of work from this man,...
OK, We'll take your word on that. We'll stack em'. You know anybody with the tool?
OK, that was more than I really asked for. Being that we have experience here dating back far enough to know about this tool, we also know why it...
We have a 54 Poncho in the shop, and the the old straight 8 spun a rod bearing, and left a .020 flat spot on the journal. We are trying to find...

I don't like boats, I don't use boats, I don't want to work on boats. But, it does not matter how many times I say it, someone will still ask. It...

Thanks for all the great responses! I really did not expect this many!
Nice bit of info there, bookmarked your site. I liked the column in this car and wondered where he got it.
I do not know. The customer supplied them.
I hope your motivation isn't because you want to make some money, cause you wont. You can make a modest living, but that is about were it ends for...
Thanks for all the positive comments!
In front of our store. We are a "One Stop Shop".
In a chop job, it will run around $1500, however I go about it. Here is the last chopped headliner I did. 49 Merc.
Just finished this one yesterday. 36 5W, B/W interior with T&R inserts.
Move the tool out, in front of the trim ring.
One more try
Another try at the pic
The clip will be located at the arrow in the pic. place the tool between the fancy trim ring and the handle, you may need to push it back a bit....
