65 Dart Revisited II

-
It did not turn out too bad, but for a few wrinkles. They tell me a heat gun or steaming will take these wrinkles out, but I am a bit hesitant as I was cautioned on too much heat.

Were you able to get the wrinkles out? I'm curious, because I'm considering doing a vinyl top as well.

Hello RT. Thanks for the question. The vinyl top went on fine. No wrinkles, but stretch the vinyl as you are placing the material. My trouble with the wrinkles was in the headliner, but after a while, most of the wrinkles relaxed themselves out. If you have any further questions, send a PM, and I would be happy to walk you through. Best. sgrip65

Hello Ulf. I bought the material from DLT Upholstery which is in Warrenville, Illinois, USA, 60555. Their phone numbers are> 1-800-458-3500 and also, 708-499-2040. Their stock number for the material is T-48, Levant Black 04. I did research this material before I ordered it and this is the correct grain for the 65 Dart. It takes two yards of material where the material, off the roll, is 49 inches wide, but it is actually an inch wider at 50 inches. The cost for the two yards of material shipped was $34.52. Hope this information helps. Best to you. I will have to visit your thread and see how your project is going. Been busy as of late. Thanks. Jerry
