And the side trim plastics were painted white to match.

We will be using the original rear seats, so they are striped down to the springs and frame, and cleaned and painted.

Then an insert pattern is laid out to match the front buckets, and listing wires and foam are applied to the springs.

Then parts are patterned, cut and sewn to create the insert and top surface of the seat.

And after the sides are made the seat covers are installed and the seats can be installed in the car.

Next comes the door panels, we began by using the old door panel boards to pattern and make new boards.

The original arm rest will be used, so they are cleaned and covered in a thin layer of padding, and will be later covered in leather.

A yellow section is added first to create the stripes.

Then a smooth center section and diagonal pleated sections came next.

Care was taken to ensure the pleats and yellow stripes would all line up once the doors were finished.
