26 Coupe Interior

Post by Myxr6turbo » Thu Apr 20, 2023 6:42 pm

Good morning everyone,

Has anyone taken some photos of their interior with only the "cards" installed and no material? Iv'e made the 2 door cards out of 3mm MDF and now I want to make the sides and back but was hoping for a photo to get an idea of how it should look.

Thanks in advance guys,

I'm sorry I can't help with your request. I have a 25 coupe that I replaced the interior. A fellow club member is a professional upholsterer and replaced my interior. He uses a vinyl coated material that is fairly stiff and will not be affected by moisture. I have used MDF for woodworking projects in my carpentry business but will NOT use it where there is a chance for dampness. Just my .o2. Dick C.

Shawn, When my Dad and I restored his father's 27 coupe, way back in the late 1960's we had the interior done in a non-authentic fabric, black vinyl, which would have been OK for an open car. When I had the interior replaced with the correct cloth, I saved the kick panels and door panels (backing board and material). The other boards using headliner material were not saved. These parts are in storage 140 miles from where I live, but I'll be going back within the next couple of weeks and can take pictures.
