Here is where Car Care Company would like to give you advice on the restoring of the car's interior.
This should be done once you have carefully looked over the car and decided what it is going to need. The most logical place to start is the interior. Begin by removing the seats and pull up the carpeting, assuming that there is carpeting still left in the car.
The upholstery may be salvageable. Reupholstering a car seat can take quite a bit of work and should be done correctly. You are going to need the same type of material that was used in the original upholstery, such as vinyl, leather or fabric. In many cases, you will need vinyl.
Vintage cars are shown throughout the country by collectors and hobbyists who love the feeling of knowing they brought back to life a little piece of history. Car Care Company would like to examine the mind set that goes into restoring an old vintage car to it's original glory.
