Being stuck in the house due to the weather I finally got around to starting the custom diamond and tufted upholstery panel for the inside of the hatch on the orange car. I don't know why but I saved the template from when I made one of these for the yellow car 3-4 years ago. I over ruled my wife's insistence that I throw it away and hid it behind an unmovable wall unit in the living room since then. I had bought a few sheets of door panel backing material a year ago along with 100 buttons. So far I have cut out & trimmed the panel & lay'ed out the design of the buttons. It turns out I was 10 buttons short as 100 was not enough. Good thing I had a few left from the yellow cars interior job. Today I will stop by the upholstery shop and order me 500 more buttons for the rest of the interior. I am admittedly working much slower than normal with this rib problem which seems to be healing quite nicely. I still have some tweaking to do on the backing and also drill the mounting holes for the panel along with 110 holes to mount the buttons after I glue on the foam backed black vinal. I should have this panel done by friday. "Doc" ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Autos. Everything you need to know about buying or selling a car.
