VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 1930 Chevy 4 dr Sedan interior

Just picked up a 30 Chevy 4 dr sedan with a great need for a new interior - from headliner to carpet on the floor. Any suggestions / experience with suppliers and installers in the Northeast PA area ?

Hi there and welcome to Chevy Chatter II. Glad that you could join us.

You can get a complete interior and everything else that you need from Hampton Coach in Amesbury, MA.

www.hamptoncoach.com

Good luck with your project.

It's also interesting to note some of these models were finished with mohair fabric and others finished with broadcloth (your vehicle's trim code should be a guide). Most kits I understand use the mohair type. My '31 Coach has the original broadcloth seat fabric, and I am thinking I will look for a similar material if I can find it.

Theres a guy in Hewett, NJ who comes highly recommended. It's near Greenwood lake. Al W.

Thank you for the welcome and the information. I'll check them out.

Thanks for the info Gunsmoke ! Interesting that there would be two type of interior materials. I'll check the trim code.

Thanks 67vetteal. I'll have to follow up on this when I have some more info on the kit. I've never done interior work before and I hate to learn on something like this... the goal is to pay for the kit once !

I'll get the rest of his location and post it here. Hamptons is the way to go if you want originality. He can do entire interiors to. Al W.

I used the Hampton Coach interior on my 1930 Coupe, it was much easier than I thought it would be. You don't need experience to do a professional looking job. A few simple tools and a large work table are all that's needed.

I agree with Karl. I'm installing my Hamptons interior kit as soon as I correct the previous years of patching up stuff. Al W.

Hello Karl,

Thanks for the feedback on Hampton coach, I watched their video and was impressed. So, you did yours yourself and no issues. How about the headliner ? any special tips or recommendations ?

Just follow the instructions and take your time. It's pretty stright forward. I dreaded installing the headliner, but it turned out to be easy. Also make sure the doors are properly aligned so the binding around the door panels fits properly. If you run into any problems call them, they're very helpful.

Somehow there's a lot more pride in the car when you've done the work yourself. Good luck

Thanks for the words of encouragement !! Did you also repair/replace the top on your coupe ? I looked at mine and it's going to need that soon also, any experience there ?

Yes I also replaced the top, also a straight foward job. The important thing is to take your time. Measure twice, cut once. If you are trying to keep the car original, save the molding (if it's original). The whole job, interior and top took about three days to complete, but I took a lot of breaks.
If you get a chance post some photos.

Thanks again, I'm heading to Holland for a vacation next week, but after that I should be getting into some cleanup, disassembly, and prep. I'll keep you posted and with some techno-luck post a few pictures too.
