History
My father owned an auto repair shop and part of his business was auto upholstery. When I was 15, he started me out rebuilding and making seat covers for the local farmer's trucks. As I progressed, he gave me more and more challenging projects to do and when I turned 17, I did my first complete interior restoration on a 1958 Ford Retractible followed by a 1958 Edsel Citation! In 1988, I left my father's business and went full time in my own auto upholster business. As years past, auto interiors have changed and I adapted to the new challenges. In today's vehicles with side air bags and heated & cooled seats, my skills have advanced with them but I still love the simplicity and also the complexity of the vintage and classic vehicles.

Custom or stock and everything in between. We specialize in OEM matching of leather, cloth & vinyl for all US & foreign vehicles going back to the 1920's.
