You've done a lot to be proud of. I think this channel should be counted as one of those things. If the opportunity ever arises, I would like to see a Carson style top video. Also, installing headliners in older cars with the rods and hook strips such as a tri-5 Chevy. Do you own a classic car?

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Yoda, Thank you so much for saying so. I probably went through about a hundred old cars through the decades, mostly 1950's cars I'd say. Many of these cars can be seen on my website: www.rudolphsupholstery.com and on my Rudolph's virtual museum pages. I has been a very long time since I did a Carson top. Also, it has been a long while since I have had a customer for a bowed headliner. Please keep liking and watching!

Number 5 is one of the things I learned back when I did electronics repair- the value of your service is subjective- one difference with electronics is that it must be restored 100% to perfect to get paid- there aren't alternative levels of quality of materials (at least not for my work). Thanks for sharing again- and even though I'm not in the business- I still get a great deal of satisfaction watching you share your techniques and tips- and I probably have applied them in my other handiwork without even realising it. The world is always better when we share ideas because one idea shared can multiply into hundreds. Cheers.

Got hooked the first time I came across your channel, even went back to your older videos. Love watching what you do, even though I know nothing about upholstery. Keep up the great content. I even referred another KZbinr (pole barn garage) his latest video he did a reupholsters job on a car he is doing. I advised him to watch your videos on how to smooth out seat covers etc. But seeing that I couldn’t find a video of your on how to do the headliner in his car I have no idea how you do that.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Gino, Thank you so much for sharing with your friends. I think that's awesome! I know. I haven't had the customer in such a long time that needs a bow style headliner.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello James, Thank you so much for saying so. These days, buying the car cover fabric by the yard and doing the work to make it has become cost prohibitive. It would be really hard to have a paying customer with profit when you can just buy a car cover for hundreds of dollars less. Just sayin'. Please keep liking and watching!

Hi, thanks for the tutorials. I've gone through your whole library and I can't see any classic car door cards. I'd like to learn how to make similar cards to factory, even though the muscle cars I have used the welded seams but how can we replicates these with sewing, and put carpet on bottom so the seat belt doesn't punch a hole in the lower part. Or making map pockets on the bottom.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Poy, Thanks for hanging in there with me. Are you in the UK? I hear they are called door cards in the UK. Here in the US, they have always been known as door panels. Anyway, Because most people don't have a half million dollar heat embossing machine, I had always just duplicated the seams and pleats with my sewing machine. Really, to duplicate, you just copy what it had before. It has been a long time since I had that customer. Please keep liking and watching!

How about a how to set up the sewing machine, like loops and stitch and what to keep threads from breaking, Im thanking of buying one and gone to see a few, but never working these, I know there not all able to stitch too thick and break the machine, These old mechanics don’t have directions for used ones, how to care for them and what we need to get started, Oils and what does what on these things

Also what we need to look for when we go to buy one used.

Hello User, I used the same industrial sewing machine for 40 years until I wore it out. I just kept it well oiled and never had it serviced.

Real head liners. Ii did not label the wires when I removed the old head liner. How do I figure out where they go? Is it that important?

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello C2, THE most important part of doing a bowed headliner is numbering the bows counting back from the windshield. When taking the old headliner down, 1st bow, label #1, 2nd bow, label #2 and so on. Most of the time the bows have a shape and specific length. Yep, important. Please keep liking and watching!
