After taking my orange car out for a quick drive yesterday to get my AMC fix I started to complete the backing for the first new upholstery panel. I had already cut the backing to size and laid out the pattern for the buttons for the diamond design. It just needed a little tweaking to get it ready for the upholstery today. I don't know why I saved the pattern I made 3-4 years ago when I made one or my yellow car but I am glad I did now. I called my upholstery material supplier to see if the other 500 buttons for the rest of the interior were in yet but they were not. Today I will add the material to the backing using 3M general trim adhesive. It is black vinal with 1/4" of foam already attached. That is the easy part. Once that is done then comes the hard part adding the 60 buttons to the panel. This is where I use those washers I was grinding down last week. I should have it completed by monday at the latest. I stopped by my friends shop friday to see about installing the panel for me next week but he was closed, strange for a friday and no sign in the window as to why. Since I am changing the color of the interior from tan to black I need him to paint the inner side of the hatch black before we install the custom hatch panel. He was having some permit problems a he just moved into this new building 10 day's ago. I hope the moron's didn't close him up for some stupid little thing. I was just there tuesday when he installed the door popper in the hatch and he was open wednesday when I drove past on my way home from the VA hospital appointment. The roads were dry and clean yesterday but today we are in for another wintery mix to rain event getting warmer for the next 3-4 days. Have a good day all. "Doc" ------------------------ Yahoo!
