Str8-8-Dave Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I decided to make door panels for my 1931 Buick 8-66S restoration project. The hard part is finding suitable windlace for the doors. There is already some windlace in the interior trim of the car I'm trying to match. All the modern cloth windlace is sewn mostly over 1/2" solid foam core, some 3/8" solid foam core windlace is available by special order. The 3/8" solid core WILL NOT bend crisply at the corners of the door, tubular core will bend much more accurately. I'm looking for 10yds of antique light gray windlace on tubular rubber core. See picture below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Try Acme Auto Headlining in California, you’ll have to contact them, they have windlace but not listed in their catalog. Restoration Supply in Windber Pa also has a stock of windlace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I always get Supply and Specialties mixed up, I received a bag of samples from Specialties and it’s nice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
