Dave, were the carpet edges trimmed with vinyl on original cars? If so, are you going to have that done? Maybe you cannot even see the edges when everything is installed.

I can't help but wonder what will happen to this car when it's finished. You have sold the other cars that you worked so hard on. Will the same thing happen to this one?

They’re almost identical looking steering wheels, Bill. I guess stylish at the time. It’ll work but when the original comes in I’ll install that. The more correct parts the better, but it’s always good to have options.:biggthumpup:

Rick, yes, they had binding around all the edges. I’ll have that on mine in dark blue. Here’s a picture of an unrestored 507 with its carpet style. Right now, those pieces I cut are just laying in place. The tunnel will be flush with the floor and the floor pieces will cover that where it joins up and the binding on the floor pieces will clean it all up.:biggthumpup:

Fear not, Freddie!! This one goes nowhere!!:no: The only way this would leave would be a very big check with a lot of zeros and commas. It would have to be a life changing offer, I can assure you. I can always restore another anything, but I’m only making something from nothing once!:grin:

Cheers
Dave

Greetings Yenkonians!

Making progress and approaching the final stretch! Hood is on and aligned, and the carpet is done in the trunk and interior floor. Still some more trimming to do on the jambs, and I've got the fabric ready to go for the convertible top.

Amazing!

I am at a loss for words.

Damn Dave.......that looks great!

VERY, VERY cool. WOW!

Incredible! As was said, there are no words. The talent you have is amazing. Makes me slap myself when I run into a small problem on my restorations and get discouraged when compared to what you go through.

Wow, thanks men!:worship::worship::worship: I appreciate the positive thoughts!:laugh:

I’m working on the convertible top now, and man, it’s more challenging than I thought. But, not knowing how to do something hasn’t stopped me before!:eek2::wink:

More to come!

Cheers :beers:
