junkyardjeff Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I got my sewing table done except for it to be wired up but I am able to use it so I have been doing some repairs to my 55 sunliner,it started out as some upgrade to the hidden stereo system and has morphed into finishing the interior,I redone the front seat a couple years ago and never did put the piece of vinyl back on that went under the rear cushion so that has been done and since I had material left over I redone the lower rear panels. To do the upper rear panels I will have to order material so I decided to get enough to do them along with the complete rear seat and door panels,the door panels will probably get done next winter but I want to have all the material in stock so I can do it any time I can. 1
junkyardjeff Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 This car being a very late 55 production is kind of messed up,it has 56 parts and had a fourth color in the interior where there should have only been three. On the back of the front backrests are a insert similar to the front but with no pleats and it was a light blue like what was on the rear panels too,its very hard to find another that has a original interior and since it has 56 parts I think they ran out of the green and substituted a light blue that almost looked similar when new but faded much more then the white and green. I was going to put that light blue back in but could never find a match and could not get anyone I talked to on the phone at the material companies to get what was going on.
junkyardjeff Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 I think I am done until I get my dental work payed off,I need about 300 dollars worth of material from SMS and 75 from a local supplier to redo the back seat and door panels unless I can find something to sell or hit the lottery. Its going back togather tomorrow night.
Bleach Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Good to see posts of your work here. I rarely see anything related to our cars here. See you back at the 52-59 Ford Social Group and anywhere else.
Curti Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 You do fine work ! That is a talent all by it's self. It is one I pay dearly for.
