Glad to see you came over to this forum. The one you were posting this on is a good forum, but not really T bucket oriented sometimes. However, now that I look at the pictures you posted in your other thread, yours would fit in, it is very traditional.
Well, here are a couple of pictures of my interior the day I brought it home from the upholstery shop. To be honest, I am not nuts about the way he did it, but it is serviceable at least, so I am keeping it. Plus, the price was ok. I left instructions I wanted rolls and pleats and thought every upholsterer in the world knew what that meant........evidently I was not clear enough. But it is ok, and my car is just a driver anyway.

Thanks, but it was the first T bucket interior the shop had done, they normally do replacement interiors for new car dealers........insurance jobs. I went to the shop when he was 1/2 done and he had the interior looking like an overstuffed sofa, one of the ones with big folds in the top. I hated to do it but I told him that was not going to fit the look of the car, so he tore it all out and came up with this one. It will do until it gets worn a little, but my plans are to have it redone by a shop that knows hot rod interiors and who will do a proper roll and pleat job, and roll the top up slightly onto the top of the body.

At present, my interior is temporary and okay, but I have ordered some new material and I have been checking out different interiors. I think I have a good, sensible plan of attack and will be redoing mine in about 2 weeks. If it pans out like I think it will, it will really be something.
Naturally, I'll post pics in the hope someone else on a budget can learn from it. Or.... it will fail and I will have spent my money foolishly. Gosh! learning and trying things sure is like walking in a mine field.
