We really appreciate working with such a great team of craftsmen on projects like these. Also working with such a great customer! Kudos to everyone involved!

Well folks! Here are some pics of our latest project to reach completion, a 1957 Dodge Mayfair.
For this project we found the original cloth used for this car and used modern vinyls and golden piping cord to restore the interior to its original glory. We had to get inventive to reproduce the door trims with all their detail. We have used laser cut stainless steel sheet with stud welds then trimmed it in firey orange vinyl to overlay the genuine 1950s fabric.
For the stereo we installed a 2 channel Bluetooth amplifier under the front seat that can be controlled directly by your phone and powered up a pair of 6x9 speakers mounted discreetly under the rear parcel shelf.
This has been a fun project and we're sure the customer is excited to get out on the tarmac and start clocking up some miles.

Check out this very tidy Plymouth. It came in with an original headlining and parcel shelf that had both finally perished.
We found the correct type of headlining vinyl and had it recoloured to match the original colour. Surface rust on the ceiling was treated before we replaced the underfelt and headliner.
We fabricated a new rear parcel shelf and hole-punched the black vinyl for the new 6x9 speakers we installed.
To finish it off: a basic black carpet for the trunk. Neat, simple touches to tick the boxes.

Here's a sharp little MK.I Ford Es**rt that came in for a new set of carpets. It's set to be back on the road after being a track car for some time. A real head turner!

Here's a classic motorcross bike seat. Tired foam was repaired then the new cover was fitted. Ready for the track!

1967 Ford Mustang GTA convertible. Our latest finished project to cruise out of the shop. Return clients gave us this project to take care of. The interior was restored at one point so we could restore and enhance the seats without having to fully recover them. The seat frames had rusted so had to be stripped and painted before replacing the trim.
The rest of the interior was stripped back completely, many parts were replaced and the rest were restored to factory look.
We completely overhauled the convertible frame, had it painted and replaced the hydraulic rams. The soft top is an after-market replacement and we made a cover to fit perfectly.
There's something about these cars when they're out in the sunshine with the top down. Very hard to keep the keys on the hook!
Thanks to our clients for the opportunity to work on this classic, and thanks also to the boys at R3 restorations, Jasco, and Merlin's Autobody. You are a great network to work with!

OK Ford fans, here's a real beauty! A 1936 Coupe with a heap of mods. It had already been retrimmed with a custom leather interior but it needed more support in the base and some custom sheepskin covers made.
We repaired the seat base frame and spring system, added some denser foam and made a fixing system for the leather trim to sit firmly in place. Lastly we made sheepskin covers that worked with the fold up seat system and are easy to remove.
Many miles of comfortable driving ahead.

Who likes Chevys?
Here's a Camaro interior we did for a great customer. Stu carefully repaired all the steel seat frames and replaced all the foam then recovered the seats with high quality vinyl and hounds tooth fabric.
To finish off we remade the headlining and the rear parcel shelf.

Here's a blast from the past! The original JBL promo car that Stu designed and produced the interior trim for nearly 20 years ago. The current owner popped in to check things over and look at setting up an auxiliary audio input.
