Progress

The Aero project seems to go in spurts, grandsons & I made a little more yesterday.

I'm impressed! I'm sure the car didn't look that good way back when new!

  Super nice, you should sell tickets for people to ride in it when you get it on the road! I will buy two!

[MarkH]

Thanks! Grandsons have helped a lot, and yes. it never looked anything like this when I was driving it.

Finally got the last of the Sherwood Gray parts painted, and finished up the long stalled sound system.

I like Back Speaker in Middle . On 53 Kaiser Dragon the put it on Passenger Side. So Load is setting that side.

Had a full crew today, got a lot done. Should get the hood in a day or two, the underside was a shade darker than the car & the painter wanted to redo it. Boys want to practice driving a clutch so we took it off the dollys this evening and are going driving tomorrow.

Last big piece went on today. Grandsons have been putting a few clutch practice miles on it.

Where did you get the headliner?  We have a Willys Aero 55 4dr that now needs a new headliner desperately.

An upholsterer used the tattered scrap of an old one as a pattern to stitch a new one. There are/were a few companies on the internet (& ebay) that claimed to have the correct pattern and original material......I think the price was maybe $250?
Upholsterer said he could do it comparably with a modern rot/sun resistant headliner material I picked...……...turned out to not be, but he did a nice job.

Thanks for the info.  We'll start a search.  No one in Vermont seems available to make or even install headliners.  We have two Kaisers that need help in the headliner department. No luck so far.  ( we can find plenty of people to repair oxen and horse team harnesses, go figure )
