Domestic projects have caused a significant delay in the Model A.
This delay was welcome as I was very apprehensive concerning the 250 holes for tacks/nails very close to the nice red paint. The fabric installation uses about 125 and the trim another 125.
The concrete crew left part of a roll of 20 mil plastic which was just right for a pattern of the padding.
I got the padding from Bert's in Denver. I try to buy everything that I can from them because they DO Model A's and not just sell parts. Very knowledgeable guys.
Cutting this fluffy stuff was easy with a rolling razor cutter.
The third layer of fabric just below the padding is convertible top fabric. This has a rough woven texture and holds on to the padding well and should prevent slippage. No Glue required!
I elected to chuck 200 #6 tacks
Taped and shielded from me, I think we are ready to begin.
