    Need an Upholsterer in Essex

    Well as it says on the tin...

    I need to find an upholsterer... I have had a new screen fitted and have now got the hood frame fitted but cant find an upholsterer who can do the hood. I am looking for recommendations and preferably pics of examples of their work and they need to be in the Essex area.

    It's important that they have the hot rod "eye" as I don’t want it to look like a pile of crap that doesn't fit where it touches...

    I don’t have an unlimited budget and I would be lying if I said price isn’t a factor but I do want it done right... so come on guys, who you got?

    You can PM me, email me or just post a reply if you think it will help others...
    The flogging will continue until morale improves!!!

    You could try Andy Dowling on 01787 238115. He's been around hot rods, classics and veteran cars for donkeys years. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with doing the roof on my Sport Coupe. His attention to detail is fantastic. I was a right fussy *bar steward* as I wanted the top close to restoration perfect as possible (bar the chop and a coupe of other minor tweaks I made) and he got it spot on. He also did the top on Tony Cardy's T roadster and the interior on Glen Fulcher's 32 amongst others.

    Thank you Ratty, I was thinking Tibury as the docks, typing and doing other things and trying to get out, now all makes sense.
