For the past three days we have been working on the "bones structure" of this 1972 Volvo Sport Wagon.  We mold our panels out of ABS, which provides Precision Fit and Long-Lasting Quality to our interiors.  As you can see in the Side and Kick Panel pictures, the boards are molded and fabricated for each section.  Keep in mind this is a work in progress and is ongoing fabrication. They are Custom-Fit and the material is attached to each panel.  The contrasting White Italian Leather and Black Carpeting will provide the backdrop for the Bright White Custom Italian Leather Seats.  The Headliner was crafted from Black Ultrasuede.  
 It's gonna be a beauty!   So stay tuned!

  Today the seats were completed! Taking the interior from a medium brown tone to an eye-catching bright white Italian Leather with black piping trim is quite a transition!  We are pleased with the seats and are excited to move onto the next portion of the interior...the Headliner!  Now for a break to take in some local football...we will return to the grind on Monday.  
  Ya'll have a sunny beautiful weekend!

Today the customer delivered his white 1972 Volvo 1800.  The workmanship on this car is outstanding!  It has been completely restored down to the new lizard skin ceramic heat and acoustical spray-in-barrier system.  The car was delivered on a roll-back, as the customer is awaiting new fuel injectors to make the pristine engine PURRRRR!  While here, our customer reviewed the progress on the seats.  He was quite pleased with what he beheld.  This interior will complement the body of the car beautifully and is really going to POP!  
  We contacted the supplier for the dash light bulbs & sockets for the '67 Plymouth Barracuda.  We are working to a solution on the odd-sized bulb sockets...Looking forward to installing new headers on the beast of a 360 engine in the 'Cuda.
  Stay tuned for more Volvo & Barracuda Updates!... 

Well its Monday in the soggy foothills of NC. Hope there is Sun shining where you are. Today we start phase three of our 1972 Volvo 1800 Sport Wagon. Phase 1 was establishing customer requirements and expectations. Phase two was Building the Dash in White Italian Leather with Black detail stitching. (Turned out very nice, photos later.) Phase 3 is the reconstruction of the seating. From foam out these will be new. We will try to stay as close to Original in form, but add some new model detail to make this interior "kick it through the uprights" footballs starting, ya know! Stay tuned!

This is our next project car. This 67 'Cuda belongs to Mike Carswell of Dudley Shoals, NC. This car has quite a history!  Mike's Aunt bought this car brand new, off the lot, and drove it for years. When Mike got old enough to drive he purchased this car from her, and drove it to High School and then to College (NC State)!! But a Time came when he had to separate from his "faithful friend" and sell it. For years he wondered about the car, because of the great memories it held. This is even the car he drove when he was dating the woman who would become his wife!  So, as you can see, it holds a lot of fond memories of his youth.
  Several years ago, he received an unexpected phone call from a gentleman who had just restored a 67 'Cuda.  He told Mike, the reason he was calling ...he had found a piece of  paper with a phone number on it, as the car was being dismantled.  He was inquiring if Mike was the original owner of the car, and if he would like to see the current restoration.  What do you think Mike said???  He drove to the restoration shop and beheld his "old friend!"  The 67 'Cuda had received a complete frame off restoration.  The original 273/273 engine had been replaced with a new 360, new Bright RED paint, new interior, new...etc. etc.  The gentleman realized Mike had found his "long lost friend," offered it to him for a special price, and What do you think happened???  
  Our job...to tighten, freshen, prep, tweak, and polish in preparation for its next show.  There will be photos added as we progress.  
  Stay tuned.....
