Seats
For your collectible cars, when you bring us your seats
we completely inspect the shape of the foam, springs
and vinyl.
If necessary the foam is fixed or replaced and the
springs are repainted. Then we match the material as
closely as possible. We can do fabric, vinyl or leather,
and we have a very good selection for you to choose
from. However if we don’t have something that works we
will research new suppliers for your project. This takes
some time but we do our best.
We will work with you to redesign your seats in perfect
accord with the spirit of your car.
Side Panels
We can build, fix, or modify door panels. If the
interior cardboard is rotten, broken or damaged
but the exterior fabric is in good shape then we
can just change the cardboard.
Carpeting:
We can have the most varied carpets for your project:
looped or smooth cut. Even if they were molded
originally we can redo them as beautifully as at the
height of their beauty and youth.
Convertible Tops:
Oh, here in Canada if you restore an American or a
European you have the chance to find a reproduction that
merits the name, no need to panic, we work with
numerous suppliers providing reliable reproductions and
have the expertise to correctly install them.
Vinyl Roofs
We can recreate vinyl roofs and change the foam that is
found in most models. No worries here. We also have
a wide variety of headliners that you can choose from or
we can create one from the material that you desire.
To my eyes seeing this new country, except for a few rare old buildings, the oldest signs of
the industrial art of the 20th century are present in cars.
Travelling around Alberta one can frequently discover in a yard or in a back alley an old
treasure forgotten, just waiting for one to revive it and make future generations dream..
Successfully finishing your car and truck project is matter of discussion, confidence and respect of the work
undertaken.
I can be part of your project regarding vintage hotrods, custom classics, modern jewels and everyday luxury
like new leather interiors.
My favorite work is a personal creation according to the type of vehicle, in alignment with the spirit and age of
the vehicle.
Dashboard
When you restore a car and it comes to the dash you
have a problem; you can’t find a new one in good
shape. So, we have good news for you! We LOVE to fix
them.
First of all, we strip the folding part, then we fix the
cracks. After that we glue a sandable foam on the top
and rebuild the shape that defines the dash. Then finally
we glue the material on top using heat to stretch the
material. The result will be impressive and your old dash
will be back in your car nice and clean like the first day.
Headliner
There are two big families in headliners; the tightened
and the glued.
Lots of companies sell tightened headliners as an
aftermarket product and a lot of the time they are of a
good quality. So we just have to install them which
usually takes a day. If you do not find them aftermarket
then we are able to build them for you, this takes more
time and investment. Regardless if the product is built by
us or not we check and ensure all the rods, frames and
hardware are in position in the car. We will look at this
together.
When it comes to glued headliners they generally stick
on a piece of cardboard molded in the car. We have to
completely remove this piece as there are many
components such as a pillar, lights and handles that can
be in the way. Once it’s out we make sure that it’s not
broken or rotten. If it is, we fix it. Then we strip it bare,
clean it and re-glue the new material into place. We
have a ton of different colours to choose from.
