Auto Upholstery and Interiors

A Do-it-yourself Basic Guide to Repairing, Replacing, or Customizing

Whether you're restoring a classic automobile or just interested in replacing the cracked upholstery in the family car, you've probably been frightened off from reupholstery work because you didn't want to lay out the cash for an expensive industrial sewing machine (or learn how to sew). But author and restoration expert Bruce Caldwell proposes that a do-it-yourselfer can reupholster a car without threading a single needle! The secret is upholstery kits that are available for a wide variety of cars and trucks. By doing the installation work yourself, you can save money and still get professional results.

Topics include painting interior parts, headliner replacement, carpet kits, door panels, dashboard restoration, seat kit installation, kick panels, truck detailing, steering wheel repairs and swaps, custom seat installation, using dyes, simple upholstery repairs, and cleaning/detailing tips.
