Thanks for all your help guys and gals. Today I just shut down the media blaster and 10 x 10 catch tent for good. I can't blast another blasted thing! Anyway a few before and after shots to mark this special occasion. ![[Linked Image from i1027.photobucket.com]](http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y336/nonidrinkers/scan0002.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1027.photobucket.com]](http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y336/nonidrinkers/IMG00077-20110127-2225.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1027.photobucket.com]](http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y336/nonidrinkers/scan0001.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1027.photobucket.com]](http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y336/nonidrinkers/IMG00070-20110127-2222.jpg)

Wow, quite an improvement. Looks great. The before pictures look like my '49 does right now. Did you order a headliner for it yet? I have a few leads but always looking for more.
I think I'm a fairly wise person because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.

I have not ordered a headliner. I was going to make the interior original from Hampton but because of the lack of money (Realtor) I will most likely go with a kit from the Chev club. Just can't justify everything being 100% anymore.

I did the same thing with my '31. Took it to a local upolstry guy and got by with $2,600 which included material and labor. I did give him a tip because I was happy with it. We matched it up close but not original but this is a driver. Going to have him come over and give me a bid on the '49. Maybe he can do the headliner cheaper than buying it.
