Who knew that settling in with a glass of milk and some ginger snaps and watching a man sew would be such an enjoyable Friday night!

[@TheJayhawker]

lol sounds like a great night to me!

Another great video Mr. Jayhawker! You have shown me how to do so many things to my 48 Chevy and your help is most needed on my part. Thank you!

[@lowellrickard5351]

this was a great video actually all your videos are great when I work on my 48 Chevy if I forget or haven't done it I can always watch your videos and you really explain things keep up the 👍 good work

I am working on my 54 Studebaker. You are motivating me! Close to headliner stage.

[@Bill-xc8le]

That is one amazing job, unbelievable!

[@tomeasley5979]

Jayhawker, those look great and I would be pleased to have them on my 40 Chev. Super work.

[@bluzmanintx8176]

Very creative in using what you have to work with.

[@michaelgramby7483]

Very nice job, you have very nice instructor detail.

[@gigfy6010]

Looks great, can't wait for the next video!

[@oldsteamguy]

Neat

[@davidbetterton1382]

hey hope your doing good i like your work a lot and hope to see more of it

[@jamitysmom]

I think a walking foot Juki would help with the shifting. Maybe! We've just found your videos - are planning on tackling the interior of a 39 Plymouth soon!

[@TheJayhawker]

Yes, I agree. Maybe someday!

[@dustcommander100]

Looking good! I'm sure mine will end up with something a lot less nice!

[@HeleneandTom]

Looks good great job!

[@georgemadrigal7909]

Great job 👍

[@tombob671]

great video and job

[@murrayhelmer8941]

Been trying for a couple weeks to get pricing from SMS auto for interior fabric and headliner for a 42 Chevy 4door sedan. Said would be a day. Or two Pretty loooong day or two. 😂😂

[@TheJayhawker]

quite frustrating, isn't it?

[@daltonewers3385]

Thank you! You’re helping me big time on my 48 coupe…. Question, can you do a video on the chrome trim clips? Chevs of the 40s doesn’t give me any instruction.

[@willyg6545]

Looks great! Not sure I would use the hardy board to fill pockets, i/2" foam would have been my choice sewn in. End product looks very nice!!

[@TheJayhawker]

Yes that would be a great option esp. if you want a little extra thickness or softness. I however wanted to get as close as possible to the original look of the hard compressed strips of cotton batting. Thanks for watching!

😃👍

[@jayburrough4308]

You must live by the water .it sounds like it anyway

[@TheJayhawker]

no, that would be our lovely Kansas wind🙂

[@mohawkaquatics5855]

It's called chip board

[@annav3716]

Hi Jayhawker, curious what size needle you are using on the Juki for the vinyl with the door board. Great video, we learned a lot from it. Keep them coming! Kevin says you are quite the craftsman.

[@TheJayhawker]

21 needle - 92 thread

[@per434]

Very good job, very accurate. I was inspired. But did you buy the fabric online? I'll probably have to watch the other videos.

[@TheJayhawker]

Yes, the upholstery fabric was from SMS auto fabrics online but they are typically VERY expensive. They vinyl I ended up using was from Hobby Lobby. You can go to my channel and find the complete teardown and rebuild of the interior for this car. Thanks for watching!

👍 how about letting us know how many hours, per state.
