Ed, your sedan is looking great. It's been a long road, enjoy my friend. 

Nothing worse than over priced, not what you wanted sub par work. Ran into this from an area uhpolsterer here. If i can't get what i want, how i wanted it... i'd just rather do it myself and put up with my mistakes and not somebody elses.

That would drive me nuts. Both ends of the deal, waiting two years is just too awful. But having two
year's worth of work stacked up in front of me... Geez, I'd probably just give up.

Glad to see you were picking upholstry out. Now.... it's in the shop already. Thats great and the way its suppose to go!

I meant to give you a call last weekend and got distracted.🙄  My brother came out a week ago to help get things organised again and a lot of maintanece stuff on the house.  So nice to have him here  for the time being.🙂 

I'll try to remember to give you a call today or tomorrow.

Brothers are wonderful things!

The '33 is beautiful and a quality upholstery job will set it off.
 I have only taken one car to a pro. That was my '38 For coupe in Tijuana in 1961. I had heard all the folklore about horse crap in the rolls and rotten thread .......So I took cotton batting & nylon thread. The guy (who spoke little English) laughed at me as he tossed it into two closets filled with extra batting & thread that other customers had brought. He said, "We never need to buy!" They did a great job and the last time I saw the car after10 years of hard use it still looked new. It cost less than $100. Hope your experience is as good. It couldn't be as much fun as that trip I was 16.

Glad you found a guy that works good with you. I like the different pattern insert. Looks good to me.

Brother still here and for another week. I got my garage back😁 He got it clean and back organized! And i haven't had to drive since he got here, nice to get driven around. Getting harder to do for me. I haven't spent this much time together, (just him and me), in more than a decade. Really enjoying it.
