Finished the Interior of my '56 Super 88

After working all winter, I finally got the Super 88's interior done. I did it myself, and I have a lousy camera, but it came out pretty good. The hardest part, by far, was the windlace, which was a combination of tack strips, "spikes" and contact cement. Took four hours per door. While I had the interior gutted, I repaired the door panels and visors, made new kick panels and a package tray.

Very nice. You should be very proud. I bet the cloth inserts are comfortable too.
