You're right Phil I didnt say but it is a rot proof carpet from these guys. Not the cheapest stuff but nice and should last some years.

do you use any backing or underlay or glue the carpet directly to the metal ?

I will be glueing direct to the metal on this one with a spray upholstery glue.

The edges of the trans tunnel will be trimmed with the leather and then use press studs to attach to the trans top so I can remove it easilly if I need access to the tunnel.

I used a felt underlay in my Jester but dont think I needed it, or need it for this car. If I were building a Cobra or the like I would felt for sure to give that extra plush feel.

Had more of a play with the sewing machine today.

I'm going to cover my interior side panels with leather and have a pelmet coming off the top of it over the top of the side panels to finish them.



Really happy with how the test went, the finished item should look smart.

Most people have horse power stot ! Not cow power. Anything to be different. that is one tidy bit of upholstery there, come on then, when are you opening the one stop stot shop ? Selling locost badges, to upholstery ! Seriously, well done son, that is going to be a car worthy of a magazine front cover.
