Quick pics of the sewing for the passenger side armrest.  Pink sew foam on back and finished cloth diamond pattern.  Just need to sew piping and small piece of vinyl on the bottom to match the other side and I can move on to the seat or headliner.

WOW looks awesome! Great work 39delux! It’s funny that your industrial sewing machine table looks like the same model as mine! Can’t wait to see it all completed and in your car! RoarsRods

Very nice, keep that machine buzzing...
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Little work on the headliner and package tray.  Was really worried about the headliner in the sail area but it finally came together.  Tuff working over my shoulder or head cocked to one side.  Today was making the tray cover, getting smarter but still takes a while.  Would like to have an overhead console but nothing to attach it to.  Still working on making something that will have a couple of map lights and a small cubby hole for legal papers.

Can't avoid it any longer, got to finish the back seat.  This is a dense foam I'm using for the seat bottom and bolsters.  I didn't order round bolster foam so I got to make it.  Intend to cut bevels on the edges, then smooth a bit with a flapper wheel, then add a cover of 1/2 inch scrim (sew foam) to cap it off.  Once it all shaped I'll glue it to the base plywood, then do the covering (how I don't know yet!).

Seeing the way you handled the quarter and headliner, this seat will be a snap. I can't wait to see it!

Well, back seat just about done.  Back of seat is just resting in place, need to push it down about 3 quarters of an inch and screw it in place.  Got to cover the seat riser, then move on to the door panels which will just be an extension of the pattern established.

Only have one door card and one kick panel to do that require glue.  Went searching for some good stuff that would work on foam, cloth and vinyl.  My test proved out that the cans will not do good on vinyl.  Contacted a large upholstery supplier that sells just about everything and they recommended the Landau top glue by the gallon.  It's not cheap but about the same as three cans of spray glue and will cover much much more area and adhere to all three of my materials.
