Boat Screen Windows

We finished a boat encosure that looked great. We usedPhifertex screening on one set of curtains for shade and ventilation, then made canvas curtains for rain and privacy. We are making an awning, seat cushions for a cooler, re sewing boat canvas, and recovering furniture all at the same time.

63 Plymouth Fury

This week we worked on an original 63 Plmouth Fury interior. We used flame red vinyl with chrome tinsel welt cording. After striping the old covers we wire brushed the frame and springs and painted them with enamel black. We covered the springs with new burlap and foam, then sewed the covers with #92 polyester thread. We enjoy working on all of our projects but this was great. In the seat we found a ticket stub from 1971 for a Jack Benny show and some green stamps, which the owner got a kick out of.
