So, last Friday, the car was moved to the Upholstery shop. I met this tow guy a month or so ago when he towed my Tesla. Not "name dropping" that I drive a Tesla, but I do know that Tesla has extremely strict standards to work for them as a contractor. This dude was super polite and meticulous. I kept his business card handy because I knew I would need to move my convertible eventually.
At Kings Auto Upholstery in Roanoke, VA. They do amazing work, both stock and fully custom. Here is some of their work:
1965 F100
67 Mustang full custom interior
Hot Rod
"One Bad Penny" shop truck they just finished last year. Super nice build with an LS swap
Here is the crew! The owner Mr. King is on the left, and his son is holding a Chrome Ticket from their 2018 Snap On Catalog, worth $1000 in free tools!

So here it is. The more I look at it, the more my OCD sees that needs attention
Dash hanging off the firewall. The only thing that works is the ignition.
And here is another "holy grail" of parts for this car, fresh out of bead blasting and powdercoat.
"N93" option wheels. Nothing special, right? It looks like it is just an inverted steel wheel, but if you look close you will see extra bolt holes, used to hold on these wheel covers and spinners
You can find the wheel covers and spinners all over the place, but the wheels are just about impossible to find. Everyone used to throw them away in favor of Keystones or Cragars.
Tomorrow I will drop off some more interior parts, and more importantly, factory repair and wiring diagrams.
