Getting ready to do the door panels and headliner in a 27 “T” coupe....this is very helpful! THANK YOU

@yellowtr6 4 года назад

All of my upholstery work is doing interior panel kits for the classic British Sports car the Triumph TR4 and TR6 so I have two suggestions for your video. The vinyl gets cut about 2" larger than the card but the foam should get cut the same size as the card. This eliminates the bulk that you're showing that can affect how the panels will fit. When you're using upholstery or headliner contact cement, wait for it to flash and feel dry to the touch and then put waxed paper on top of it. Now you can lay the other piece on top of the waxed paper and position it perfectly without fear of things sticking together. Once the pieces are aligned, slide out the pieces of waxed paper.

What about shrinkage from the sewing? when sewing leather to closed cell I have came around a quarter inch short on all sides vertical to stitching when doing stripes similar to the ones in the video. Good advice on the adhesive, I have had mixed results depending upon the adhesive brand though.

@SailriteDIY 2 года назад

Hi Bandit, We are planning on doing a video on tufting at some point this summer. I think we will be tufting a headboard, but the concepts should be very similar.

@inactive67 3 года назад

When marking or cutting and having to move your straight edge, leave the pencil/pen or blade in place and move the straight edge.

@GarageItYourself Год назад

How would you go about doing a butt join of the two colours instead of using the additional strip of vinyl?

@mikem3403 Год назад

Someone please let me know. If you were to not wrap the foam around the back, how do you keep the staple from coming through the front? Or would the glue be good enough to hold the vinyl?

@tommybroughton2191 2 года назад

where do you get this cowl board every site I look on it is like they dont know what I am talking about

@OUTFXD Год назад

"Car Door Panels... are typically found on Classic cars!" "We are cutting wholes where the Plastic Rivet inserts need to be inserted" We have very different opinions on what constitutes a "classic car" Great vid! Thanks!

@larrystehle8746 4 года назад

You have an incredible amount of bulk as you fold that 1/2 in foam around the panel and that could result in poor fit as you attach the panel to the car. Try trimming the foam to the panel before wrapping and attaching....

Those sharp staple ends have to go somewhere. Aren't you able to feel them on the outside? That cowl board is only 1/8" thick.

Does this machine have a foot operated reverse and a thread cutter?

@boarhog1979 4 года назад

no. It will have a lever for reverse and is not an automatic machine. A Juki LU-158 which is a monster long arm machine uses a foot-operated reverse

@boarhog1979 4 года назад

at 635 you can see the push down lever for reverse

@greavous93 Год назад

too much foam in the corner and around the edges. A door panel that wont lay flat when installed is wasted time and materials.

@ARASHMAFI1 4 месяца назад

Totally agree looks like crap. Foam should be cut the same size as the board so when the vinyl is bent over it has nothing glide in the back but the vinyl

@terryblanchard8199 4 года назад

@richlounder2465 Год назад

Totally wrong, the foam should never go behind the door trim, too fat and bulky. Cut the foam off to the board edge so that you only have the thickness of vinyl around the back.

@mikem3403 Год назад

How do you staple the vinyl to the board without it coming through the front? Or would the glue be good enough?
