How to Install Automotive Interior Kits

Author: Fred Mattson Published by: Car Tech ISBN: 978-1-61325-526-1

This useful manual teaches the reader how to install commercially produced interior kits for most popular classic American vehicles. In recent years, a wide variety of classic vehicles have benefited from the availability of parts, mechanical, structural and interiors, to keep these appreciating assets on the road and looking good. Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds, Chevelles, GTOs, Corvettes, etc., all have strong followings, so the chances are, they and many others can be improved with a new interior, off the shelf. That's when the problems can start. Poor installation can ruin an otherwise nice car, much of which will be down to ignorance of the proper techniques and procedures needed to do a great job at home.

This book covers manufacturers, parts and accessories, materials, tools, supplies and fitting seat covers. It goes further, dealing with the installation of door panels and headliners, carpets and even vinyl tops. As always with Car Tech books, the photos are clear and well captioned. There are comprehensive instructions, explained simply and unambiguously. Read carefully and digested you should encounter fewer hurdles if you decide to purchase and install a quality interior kit in the future. It’s a small investment which might help you decide whether it’s something you can attempt yourself or prefer to leave to a professional upholsterer.
