Automobile – Page 11 – Average Guy's Car Restoration, Mods and Racing

Now there is always the issue of replacing vinyl with vinyl or replacing it with leather died to the color. But that’s just not going to happen on this “average” budget.

So I ordered a complete set of TMI from M Detail in Riverside, Ca. The price was right and although I’m not in a hurry the shipping was quick.

Now I’ve never done upholstery before, so this will be the first time. I’m also no expert in Corinthian vinyl (umm..I’m no Ricardo Montabon…) or Ruffino vinyl (just for the record I’m against harming Corinthains and Ruffinos so I specifically ordered imitation version) but the quality of the stitching and the thickness of the padding was very impressive.

So I’m going on the record as saying that if want to stay on budget and quality is important give TMI Upholstery a try.

I don’t receive compensations for these review, just make comments on what I like.

Thanks for reading.

Recap of the rules:

Here how it works.

A small excerpt of a car photo will be post and you have to guess the car and year.

Each pic will be accompanied by a few hints. These will be production cars, not concepts or one off’s.

I’ll post as often a possible and keep a tally of the first right answers on the image that follows.

You have to be the first with the right answer and the first to reach 5 correct answers.

The first with five correct answers will win a free gift. Normally, car related DVD, CD or a Bolt Depot Fastener gauge (screw/bolt) – metric or U.S. (These will be mailed to you, so you are going to have to provide an address.)

Additional note: All of these cars will have had appeared on my blog over the past 1.5 years.

So here is the first image.

This is a GM. Produced in the 1960’s.

Contest #1 Image

Post your best guesses. First correct answer posted wins.
