Interior upholstery

Post by towtruckerfour »

Does anybody know where I can get diamond tuck upholstery like I have on my door panels and headliner? I am doing a new headliner with speakers and don't want to cut my old one.
Thanks.

I did diamond tuck on my panels, dash and headliner, but I used buttons. To get it sewn like that you would have to go to an upholstery shop, I would think.

Hey fordnatic. I thought about that. When my dad originally did the interior, we bought the material out at the flea market. It came on a roll and you bought it by the foot. That was back in the early 80's though. Thanks for the info.

the place I got the bed foam for my camper had hundreds of kinds of material...

Hey Idaford. I would really appreciate it. I'm not having much luck finding it on the internet. Looks like we are getting a few of us in Idaho now. Cool.
