After about nine months the interior, upholstery and roof are complete. A member was wondering what it costs to do an interior and roof from scratch. In Canadian dollars it worked out to be $15,000. 270 hours of labor and $3500 in fabric roof materials.
I would like to thank all the members who helped me it was my first complete restoration from the ground up with a complete wood kit. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the help from the vcca forum.
Thank You Mike

Wow that is an exceptional job you did on everything. Taken care of that will last a looooong time. Looks like you have some good candidates for introduction into the old car hobby.

Thanks.
The kids want to go for a drive but we are snow covered. I am sure they will like it. Hopefully they will catch the bug.

Thank you. You have been a tremendous help. Without your expertise the car would still be sitting on the garage floor in pieces.
