Re: Yet another GMC build

Great work there are a lot of secret's do get upholstery just right. I know my brother is master upholster. He did a 29 roadster that won the AMBR award. He has been doing this for over 30 years, for example he sew's streemers (long threads) then pushes these with a long sewing needle into the foam through the back side to hold material with round plastic button things to give that contour look so the material wont look flat. He can build a convertible top with no pattern and installed in 8-10 hours. Your work is something you can be proud of and saying I did it feels good.
