Trim, Frame & Body Pt 2

This shows the hood frame stripped of canvas.

The next stage is to de-trim the interior, usually a straightforward exercise, as each piece serves as a pattern for its replacement. It was interesting to work out how the rear side trim had been attached – no visible fastenings could be seen! This panel forms an arm rest for the rear occupants, and the trim had been build in situ. The fastening screws were under the leather at the top of the panel, pins holding the upper trim to the armrest area were underneath the padding for the rest and leather fitted over the whole area – always a challenge!
