1930 Model A Coupe Thanks for the responses!
Fred, it sounds like there is quite an art to doing it! Thanks so much for the detailed instructions, that's perfect, sounds like you have a ton of experience with them. I'm sorry I forgot to mention before that my customer wants me to use a vinyl/leather hybrid material for the panels, so anything through the face of it will leave holes. I'm sure it won't be the last Model A I work on, so I'm excited to try your method when I do work on another.
Chris, he's keeping the car original, but wants the headliner and interior panels to be done in a vinyl/leather hybrid (as well as the seat). I like your idea, I think that should work perfectly! I just drill holes in the aluminum so I can push the clips through?
