Good work farmer. It's nice to see one of the SS Mini's twins! Did you replace any of the wood grain vinyl on your boat or is that the stuff it came with? It looks a lot better than mine... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=917" rel="nofollow - My 1974 Mustang 17 http://www.trooptrack.com" rel="nofollow - TroopTrack : The Best Scouting Software |

Thanks everybody. I'm pretty sure thats the original dash.I think it could look better if I knew what to use on it. Any suggestions? |

The upholstery looks fantastic! Did he heat stamp the pleating in or is it stiched?
The wood grain came up a couple months ago and I called my vinyl sign shop for advice. He said to look for vinyl that is made for the sides of cars. It is made with the wood grain somehow built in and not simply printed on the surface. The poster with the vinyl question never came back so I'm assuming he found something. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

The interior was done by a local upholstry shop here in Ct. Dave's upholstry in Watertown. The pleating is stitched.I wanted it to look as close to original as possible but I didn't know anyone who could heat stamp so he stitched it.I made all new wood for everything. I do have to make some adjustments the next time but this came out pretty good. |
