1923 Ford Model T Touring Car - Classtique Top and Interior Video Review

Post by jwilliams81 » Tue Jan 10, 2023 5:42 pm

Hello Everyone,

I thought you would like to see how my new top and interior look installed!

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cg1kbdiznY&t=34s

I bought the full kit from Mike at Classtique Upholstery -https://www.classtiqueupholstery.com/

Knowing my own limits, and also knowing that if I made a mistake installing myself I would always focus on that mistake, I paid a professional to install everything for me.

The installer I used was Steve Stutzman of Peebles Ohio.

Check out the video and let me know your thoughts!

Jarrod,
Wow. Great job! Timing is great. I am working on the same thing, '23 Touring, very early, low hood, wood firewall. Interior kit from Classique also. I bought the car in an online auction. Came with the interior/top kit, still in original packaging, seat springs in the original boxes.

My wife and I are putting it together. Last night we were both searching the internet to answer some questions we had about the rear seat arm rest. Then this morning your post popped up!

Thanks for the post.

Rich,
You and your wife are bolder than I am haha.
I had confidence in trying it, but I knew if I messed something up I would stare at it for the rest of my life. That's just how I am. So I was happy to find someone with experience that could do the install for me.

You two are making some great progress! Good luck, I don't have many pictures of it being installed... but if you need still shots of something once it's together just let me know.

You did a pretty nice job on your car. When you take your time, and pay attention to the details, it really shows. So many black era cars have the rear curtain lights sewn incorrectly. Yours is refreshing to look at!

Thank you!
While I can't take credit for the install, I can certainly agree that picking Classitque Upholstery for the kit and Steve Stutzman as the installer was a great choice!
