So strange to look at a gutted funeral coach. I don't guess most people out there will ever see that. Interesting.

I really hate talented guys. Nice job, Ed !
I had a Brother-in-Law who was like that ...he could look at something once and just do it DROVE me crazy My dad loved the guy......I hated him lol this guy started out head of his class in high school, collage, then he became the youngest to graduate from Funeral Directors collage in Ontario then an Ambulance attendent then a paramedic then when he got bored with that he became a fire fighter then retired as a instructor at the Toronto Fire collage !
all the while still being a P/T Funeral director !! glad he is now an EX- Brother in law lol just kidding but man I hated him for a while
so jealous of him !!!
Is this your first time doing this sort of interior work? It looks like you're doing great work! I hope your project is very successful.
Lookin' great, Ed. :thumbsup: Wish you lived closer to my area I could learn a lot from you.
BTW: Love the clock in the corner. You & I have the same taste in time pieces. Merry Christmas, Brother.

I swear I was being completely genuine in this statement. But now that I have my sarcasm turned on, I can see how it might have come across that way.

you can read anything two ways if you want. I took at at is was stated. now it looks strange to me covered up. been a year or two. but the jury is still out on the talent part maybe just German Sturbenness and Swedish cheap. but it going together slowly as if I get in a hurry I end up buying things again.
never put in one like this none of it goes in as a "normal" car. the front is stapled to the web in 3 sides and left to hanging the dark is sewn to it in the front but independent in the canter. there are no bowes in the headliner. tack strips over the rear door one in the back and one in the center and the tack strip at the windshield. as mankind in their haste to have better, killed off all the Nagu's for their hides. just to make interiors we have had to substitute vinyls. they are stretcher then the nagahide. you staple it three ways flat and you don't have enough space to stretch it tight. i'am not making up the interior just hanging it. after Brendons I swore I would never do it again and after Paul's I swore I would never pay someone to do it. as we ended up redoing most it it when we got it back. again. I'm back to Brendons on this one again. man am I glad for pictures buy I wish I had paid more attention to them and taken more.
the I'll remember that after a couple years gets kind of OH Ya that was supposed to go like that, not like this. I think I took back out half the staples I put in. but we have now gone from this with nothing on the dash working to this will everything but the clock working. so some improvements have been made. but checking on the pictures I brought this car to the shop on 11-15-2011 so we have had it a day or two

Looks terrific, Ed!
A Worthy Project
The '58 Coaches don't pop-up very often. Nice work.
