1928 Chevrolet Is Now Ready For Upholstery

 

Gidday.

After 18 months of resto work the old Chevy is off to Melbourne this week and no I won't be driving it down there, to get fitted out with new upholstery, with all the timber work finished a colour has been chosen, not that it was a hard decision as it will remain original as it came from the factory and that was "black" but I have gone for a distressed looking matt black material to match in with the exteriors "patina" appearance..

 

New seats, carpets and side door panels plus maps pockets in the two front doors and the fella doing this work is "Grant White" who does a lot of vintage car interiors with a name of getting the end result very close to original 1928 specs.

 



 

I love the photo of dad hanging on the wall in the resto shed over seeing the action and I know from day one that he has watched every turn of a spanner, seen some tools fly across the shed, heard a good few %$@#@ descriptive words, witnessed some quiet moments of contemplation and sole searching plus felt a tear or two hit the concrete floor after a great days work.

Dad would be happy, he wouldn't be saying to much but he would have that smile on his face and I know that he is watching over us all, continuing on with our lives.

I will post up some photos when it gets back home in a few weeks time.

Many thanks once again - Grant and Family
