Title: Do-it-yourself Installing Leathers topic at Blacklick
Post by: zoegrlh on December 29, 2008, 14:28:05

I completed the installation of leather interior on my SL this past summer.  Showed car twice after installation and won 1st in class and a third in class.  I did all the installation myself with leather furnished by GAHH.  I would be willing/glad to give a talk with photos on the do's and don'ts of interior installation at this summer's Blacklick gathering.  Who do I need to contact?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

Sounds GREAT!  PUB has always been a bit loose, but as the event matures it gets better.  A presentation like this would be well received and I'm sure Joe A. has already read this.  I have GAHH, too, and would love to hear your experiences with actually installing it.

Did you also recover the dash pieces with new leather?  I had mine recovered so it would me nice to know how it was done.  I did the convertible top cover myself but that is a lot easier.  I still need to do the hard top below the window.  I sure hope I can make it to Ohio again this year!

Bruce,
Yes I did do the dash board and knee pads too.  That was the "fun" part, cutting out hide and stretching at door endings.  Yes, I also did the soft top last year.  This winter's project is new carpeting.

Joe,
I will e-mail you.
Thanks,
Bob
